NOTES: Lonsdale, among others, was employed by William Burges to prepare designs for the complete interior of Cardiff Castle. In the Winter Smoking Room of the Clock Tower Lonsdale contributed murals of the origins of music and dancing. However this design, depicting a woman playing the lute, although previously catalogued as for Cardiff, is believed by Matthew Williams, Curator of the Castle, to be for Mount Stuart, Lord Bute's seat in Scotland. It is also much later than the previously assumed date of c.1870.
