KNOLE 283 



On turning to the right on reaching the "Duchess 

 Walk," another green path is encountered, which 

 runs down, as in old days, to the gates at the 

 entrance of the Park. From here a vista with the 

 house at the end of it can be seen, across what 

 was once the old oval Bowling Green. Here, on 

 either side of the last-named path, are beautiful 

 green Lawns the largest on the right, is arranged 

 with stone Vases filled with flowers. The second 

 Lawn on the left is more a grass Plat, and is 

 planted regularly with Apple trees and Herbaceous 

 plants, with most excellent effect. Crossing the 

 grass amongst the Apple trees, which in spring 

 are a glorious sight, a gravel Walk is found, edged 

 next the wall with handsome Herbaceous plants. 

 This gravel Walk leads past the large gateway 

 (into the Park) on the west side. On the wall on 

 either side of this gateway stands a handsome lead 

 Vase, with dolphins twisted into handles, placed 

 there, most likely, when such work was fashionable 

 in the eighteenth century. 



Quite near this gateway, on the left, is the 

 Orangery, and on the right, facing the south front 

 of the house, is a beautiful green Lawn, like velvet. 



The Terrace is separated actually from the 

 house by a wide division of grass, planted with 

 Palms, and with stone Vases, placed equidistant, 

 filled with bright-coloured flowers, according to the 

 time of year.
