Reference: GDT - service quarters

Reference information:
Ghyslaine has posted an interesting source which indicates that such buildings can house stables and a chapel. I think "outbuildings" is not specific enough as to the purpose of the buildings and that "service quarters", as suggested by the GDT, may be more appropriate. Again, I'm not certain that "service quarters" allows for the inclusion of a chapel. I suspect it might though. I need to do more V.O. research.

I think this illustrates what I am trying to explain, that the services quarters are in the outbuildings, as here:

I found soucres referring to "service quarters" in Ancient Egypt so am not sure that there is a problem of anachronicity.
