of which is nearly entire ; it still pre-
serves nearly its original appearance;
the building forms three sides of a large
quadrangle; the roof is surrounded with
a sort of embattlement, composed of
capital letters, in stone work, instead
of a balustrade, and they form this
inscription—“ All glory and praise be
given to God the Father, the Son, and
Holy Ghost on high; peace upon earth,
good-will towards men; honour and
true allegiance to our gracious king;
loving affections amongst his subjects;
health and plenty within this house.”
The effect of this entablature is better
than could previously have been ex-
pected ; the embayed and spacious
windows, and the deep projecting
wings of this mansion, give it much
the appearance of a college, and the re-
semblance would have been more com-
plete, had not the chapel been converted
into a kitchen. The house contains a
valuable collection of paintings of the
Old masters, and an interesting series
of family portraits : the park is finely
shaded with venerable oaks and ches-
nut trees, and the grounds are laid out
in a grand, though somewhat formal
style, but which well corresponds with
the date of the edifice.
