The new complex was designed by Philip Hardwick. The Library '...is 80 feet in length by 40 feet in width, and 48 feet high; and terminates at each end, (East and West) in a lofty, spacious, and deeply-recessed oriel, whose window forms three sides of an octagon; while the other two sides, or embrasure in the thickness of the walls, are richly adorned with shafts, panels, mouldings, &c. The same, or even an increased degree of decoration is bestowed upon the ceilings, which are framed in by an arch, forming the head of the general recess'.
