ers who are doubtless proud OF the
fact that 1t was the residence OF the
princess Elizabeth during the reign OF
Queen Mary.
The only moated castle that now re-
mains to be mentioned is Great Tarry-
lev. in surrey. The first structure
eracted on the site of the present
castle was a hunting lodge built by
King John about 1900. About sixty
yeara later the lodge was destroyed by
fire. and another and larger structure
was subsequently erected. In 1881, Tor
some unknown reason, the castle was
besieged by peasants, and, after the
capitulation OF its little garrison, was
entirely destroyed. For nearly two
centuries no further attempts were
made to build on the spot. but in l5SZ
the present structure was erected, anu

of being the most magnificent In all

tirely of huge pieces of timber. 1t is
a splendid specimen of the architecture
of the time of Queen Elizabeth.
