"The books are ranged within Gothic arches of pierced wood taken from a side-door case to the choir in Dugdale's St. Paul's," Walpole is quoted in the 1784 Description of Strawberry Hill: "The doors themselves were designed by Mr. Chute. The chimney-piece is imitated from the tomb of John of Eltham earl of Cornwall, in Westminster-abbey; the cieling [sic] was painted by Clermont, from Mr. Walpole's design drawn out by Mr. Bentley."
