SIR PAUL BACOT,

conceived the restoration and extension of the Mansion in the Olden
iltj le of architecture, and, with
THE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF
SIR JEFFERY WYATTVILLE,

reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro-
prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection, for its size, the
most elegant and complete chateau that can be found amongst
England's boasted beauties. Of the exterior it is impossible to speak
too much in praise ; its ivy-mantled towers and walls, noble Oriel
windows, turreted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a
tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye of the most
fastidious in classical architecture ; whilst in the interior the effect,
is one of surpassing elegance and variety, combining taste with
comfort, and nobility with simplicity ; from each window the most
lovely and diversifying scene is presented, and from those of
THE NOBLE CORRIDOR THE MONK'S GARDEN
is seen in all the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation.
The family arrangements leave nothing to be desired; the bed-
chambers are ample and most delightful, and the reception rooms of
singular elegance ; whilst the noble dining-hall cannot fail to be
admired.
