GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECITRI

is of ancient origin, having been occupied during an early pe-
riod of history by several Catholic families of eminence.
THE VENERABLE TURRETTED CHAPEL & DOVECOTE,
with a portion of the building, bearing evidence of great anti-
quity, but its interest is increased by its having been the abode
of the celebrated 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 hea-
viest devastation.

PAUL BAGOT,
conceived the restoration and extension of the Mansion in the
Olden style of architecture, and, with

..... SHE ASSISTANCE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF
SIR JEFFERY WYATTVILLE,

reared a most beautiful structure ; hut it wasleft to the present
proprietor 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. 0f the exterior it is
impossible to speak too much in praise ; itsivy-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 archi
tecture ; whilst in the interior the effect is one of A

ng
elegance and variety, combining taste with comfort, sandno-
bility 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 contempla-
tion. The family arrangements leave nothing to he desired ;
the bedchambers are ample and most delightful, and the recep-
tion rooms of singular elegance; whilst the noble dining-hall
cannot fail tá be admired.
THE GROUNDS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE MANSION
are delightfully disposed, ornamented with noble trees of every
description gracefully feathering to the ground,, particularly

many time•lionoured•oaks, and a rowof remarican
which add their importance to the scene, and from
THE BASTIONS OF THE BATTLEMENTED TERRACL
the most lovely and extended view, unsurpassable for richness
of fnliaoa 'and verdant rm.:hire_ is nresented. whilst at all times

ing to some extent, lends its aid to vary the atpllctions...

The Offices may be pronounced perfect, and the Court-Yard,
enclosing the Carriage Houses and Stabling for eleven horses,
is most excellent, the Farm Yard close at hand.
TIIE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO 231 ACRES,
the whole being admirable pasture, and woods watered with
numerous springs and ponds of delicious water, and capable of
feeding to almost any extent, and consequently rendering the
estate not only one of importance, but of profit ; a stone
wall, judiciously screened from view, encompasses the proper-
ty, and it may fearlessly be added, an objection does not exist
which can militate against the true enjoyment of it ; if the
purchaser be inclined to politics,

may fairly be calculated upon. Pews in the parish churches of
Stroud and Bisley appertain to the property, and the outgoings
are unusually moderate. Also, the extensive and
