NOTES: The Ancient High House in Stafford, was a grand timber-framed town house built for the Dorrington family in 1595. The insertion of three shops on the ground floor in 1885 damaged the sandstone plinth and undermined the structure and affected the visual coherence of the whole design. The whole building was restored in four phases from 1976-1986. See RIBA130609 for a colour version of this image.

NOTES: The original theatre Gothic Revival theatre was built 1874-1879. Destroyed by a fire in 1926, it was replaced by Elizabeth Scott of Scott, Chesterton and Shepherd in 1932. But the shell of the gutted former auditorium remained until 1983-1986 when it was converted into the Swan Theatre by Michael Reardon Associates. The shell of the old theatre which survived the fire now form the foyers and bars of the swan.
