The mansion-house of Marl was built in 1661, 

 according to the date on the beam in the liall ;

 rock, and surrounded by large trees, immediately 

 opposite the town of A hereon wy. The greater 

 portion consists only of the outward walls, having 

 been reduced to this condition bv a fire about 

 ninety years ago, which arose from negligence in 

 airing the books. Tlie iron gates in front were 

 formerly gilt, and upon them are the initials G. W.
