GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE

is of ancient origin, having been occupied during an early period of
history by several Catholic families of eminence.
THE VENERABLE TURRETTED CHAPEL AND DOVECOTE,
with a portion of the building, bearing evidence of great antiquity,
but its interest is increased by its having been the abode of the cele-
brated Sir J. Throckmorton,
THE PROJECTOR OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT,
who held many private meetings in one of the chambers, which is
still preserved. The estate passed through several hands, and,
during the war of the Commonwealth, sustained its heaviest de-
vastatson.

SIR PAUL BAGOT,
conceived the restoration and extension of the Mansion in the Olden
style 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. 01 the exterior it is impossible to speak
too mech 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.
