From S. The central 7-bay section was designed by Henry Flitcroft, 1742, but conceals an earlier structure begun c.1640 for Sir Thomas Chicheley. The 5-bay wings were added to the designs of James Gibbs, 1713-21. Standing back are the connections to the NW library wing, also designed by Gibbs, but altered since (on the left), and a corresponding link to the NE laundry wing. Beyond these, further extensions designed by Henry Kendall in 1842 provided a service wing on the right and a conservatory on the left (extending as far as the leftmost urn). These extensions were largely demolished in the 1950s; they ended in pedimented towers and the chimney stack was presumably added to the central block at the same time to tie the composition together.
