THE MANSION-HOUSE,
IN DAYS OF YORE

(in the time of the Trevors and Wheelers), was not a little conse-
quential ; and it needs only a moderate outlay, with a mixture of
tact and judgment, to restore it at once to its original and legiti-
mate rank. Mr. Robins would prefer to inlist the attention of
the reader rather to the eomfort that presides within, than the
precise order of its architectural form without. A noble row of elms
FORMS A SPLENDID ♦VENUE EN'FACE.

And a Lawn of some extent and beauty encircles the abode. There
is a capital walled garden, of considerable extent, and prolific be-
yond measure—Covent-garden market is not needed as an auxi-
liary. There are thriving plantations, which give protection from
the wintry cold, and the park grounds in front produce an ensemble
of no ordinary nature.
THE DEMESNE AND FARMS ALTOGETHER EXCEED
THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY ACRES;
a large proportion includes some of the best land in the County.
There is also a mixture of clay upon limestone. The splendid
crops of Wheat and Barley of this year's growth (and after a most
unpropitious spring, let it be remembered), prove beyond the power
of doubt tke congeniality of the soil. The Estate is divided into

SIX CONVENIENT FARMS,
and is the list of tenants may be accounted some of the most re-
spectable yeomen aid best farmers of Warwickshire. The present
rental is near

SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
This includes the tithe. But it should be remarked, that the re-
spected late owner had a satisfaction in rating kis tenants very low.
The time is at hand when a new proprietor may augment kis in-
come considerably.

feature in aid of the mansion-house, and

of good hunting, famous shooting, anti the poor-rate is almost no-
