The great dining room was located on the ground storey of the house, at the near end of the rear wing, beneath the great drawing room; behind the staircase, and adjacent to the library. A plan of the house can be found in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 1).

As the house was demolished in 1862, and this ceiling was not illustrated in the Works, it is not known if the great dining room ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's extant design.
