rooms, ana forty eight miscellaneous rooms, in
Guiding Kitchen, pantry, confectionery, and
store rooms; in addition to these there are apart

and forty servants. Having been commenced by
William the CoDquerer in the year loco, with
additions built by every succeeding monarch
down to George w., there was a strange
intermixture in many parts of the castle of the
earliest and latest styles Of Gothic architecture
and excepting for the beauty of its situation
which can scarcely be surpsssed-windsor pos
