A Topographical and Statistical Description of the County of Somerset etc (1810) by George Alexander Cooke.
The whole Square, by its uniformity, has the appearance of one house, though it is divided into several, and is 520 feet in front and 260 in depth. Each front has 63 windows and each end 31. Tow of the other sites serve as wings to the principal side each of which contains 24 houses upon a perfect square of 210 feet; and the front of these wings have 25 windows,so that when the whole building is surveyed in front, it shews 113 windows extending 1040 feet and from the neighbouring hills looks like one grand palace.
