318 A BOOK OF ENGLISH GARDENS 



John Webbe- Western took an immense interest 

 in the estate, and made many changes, fortunately 

 not all he intended. He had the old gatehouse and 

 the north tower and wing removed a proceeding 

 that George III. did not approve of at all, for when 

 he was shown over the house, after returning from 

 a stag-hunt, he said, " Very bad, very bad ! Tell 

 Mr. Weston the King says he must build it up 

 again ! " This chance visit of prosaic King George 

 adds yet another distinguished name to the many 

 that appear in the memoirs of Sutton Place.
