page 106 note 6 The Accounts of Works quoted by Sir William St. John Hope in Windsor Castle (1913), pp. 486–7 in connexion with the Wolsey Chapel are of Christmas 1814. Subsequent accounts comprise the very general Reports of the Commissioners of Woods, Forests, Land Revenues and Works and Buildings (P.R.O. Works, 5/183/3–9), and the Accounts for Works which appear in the records of the Land Revenue Office (P.R.O., L.R.R.O. 2/5ndash;12), neither of which series deals with the construction of the entrance and porch.

Sir Owen Morshead reminds us that King George III ‘had realized as early as 1794 that there was only room for one more coffin in the royal burial place in Westminster Abbey’ (Morshead, Windsor Castle, 2nd ed. (1957), p. 50, quoting J. Farington's MS. Diary, 8 June 1794).
