The library was located on the ground storey of the house, in the middle of the rear wing, beneath the Etruscan dressing room, between the great dining room and Lord Stanley's dressing room. 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 library ceiling was executed in accordance with Adam's extant design.
