Description: Shows plan of house from above, oriented with North at top. Chapel ("somewhat too large") is shown at right, "my room" in centre, bedrooms of Mr Philpott and Mr Tudor at top left beside the verandah. The cooking place and hall are at the left. There is a book room between the chapel and E[dmund]'s den. The hall has a "dirty, uninhabitable garret above". There is a circular fuchsia bed at top right, on the gravel. At the right is text: 'What is shaded has rooms above it in the roof. no walls. Edmund enclosed a little box for his own den off the passage. What is now Book-room was the old entrance hall - conveniently placed as there is no bell! The Hall was the old kitchen a dreary dirty dark room. We have lined it roughly with calico, put in more little windows, & use it as our dining room - The cooking place & washg shed are chiefly our contribution to Dr R's roofs.' This plan is on the verso of Episcopal [house] Nelson, thought to be by Maria Nicholson. A letter from Mary Hobhouse of June 2nd 1860, says "I have just been making a plan on the back of one of Miss Hobhouse's drawings to illustrate the subject of the house ..."
