'English Country Houses ~ Baroque ~ 1685-1715' by James Lees-Milne

'...Certainly the style accords less with William's conservative Stanford elevations than Francis's Calke Abbey and Chicheley Hall with their baroque use of the giant order. The 4th Baronet lived until 1747. His second son, also Sir John, the 6th Baronet, a philanthropist who founded in the City of London a society for distressed soldiers and sailors, redecorated the ceilings of hall and saloon in a restrained Rococco style...' (referring to Stanford Hall, designed by William Smith of Tettenhall, the older brother of the more famous Francis, or Smith of Warwick)
