NOTES: According to the works accounts the cross gallery, formed in around 1612, was remodelled by Jones in 1636. The old chimneypiece was replaced by one to the above design, but incorporating the lower part with the waisted pilasters from the old fireplace carved and designed by Maximilan Colt.
NOTES: Inigo Jones was initially commissioned to design ornamental features for Oatlands Palace by Queen Anne of Denmark and later by her successor, Queen Henrietta Maria.
NOTES: This sheet of three overmantel designs (two on recto and one on verso) incorporates, in two instances, the coronet of an earl. Stylistically they could have been intended for Wilton. (See also RIBA126199)
NOTES: The monogram incorporated into this design may relate to Queen Henrietta Maria, although this usually appears as 'RHM'. The drawing probably dates from the 1630s or 1640s.
