NOTES:
Samuel Whitbread I bought the estate from the Byng family in 1795 and engaged Holland to remodel the house. He died the following year and the work was completed for his son, Samuel Whitbread II. This drawing is part of a volume of 101 leaves containing details of interior decoration, chiefly chimneypieces and mouldings, compiled in Holland's office after 1801.
