 carried out the work of the S. Front of Wilton from Inigo Jones' designs), 

 probably cir. 1660 — 70, for Sir William Jones who had then purchased 

 the Manor from the Earl of Pembroke. " He left the new Manor House 

 of Ramsbury much as we find it still, a very finished and charming 

 specimen of the English as opposed to the Italian, type of house of 

 Charles II. 's day. . . . Of the same date, too, are the very stately 

 gateposts. ... If Webb designed the house, he designed this 

 entrance also. . , . The lodges and side entrance arches are clearly 

 of a later date, and were erected almost a century after Sir William 

 Jones' death." lu the Saloon " no doubt the overmantel was completed 

 after Webb's death, and perhaps even the Attorney General himself never 

 lived to see it. Later still are the mantelpiece and ceiling plaster work. 

 They breathe the spirit of the brothers Adam, and must be part of the 

 Lady Jones' improvements." "The very interesting paper which hangs 

 in the room on the north side of the drawing room. It is Chinese 

 . . . . and is the counterpart of one .... used in the draw- 

 ing room of the house which the brothers Adam erected .... at
