 Northamptonshire. 



Some compensation was afforded, however, by the introduction 

 of the cupolas or lantern lights which were prevalent during the 

 last half of the seventeenth century and the. first few years of 

 the eighteenth. There is an interesting drawing of such a feature 

 for Whitehall by Inigo Jones in the Worcester College collection 

 (Fig. 232). It is entitled in Jones's writing "June I, 1627, for 

 the Cloke house Whight hall." Webb made use of the same kind 

 of feature, and so did Wren and his contemporaries. There is a 

 fine example on the stables at Neville Holt, in Leicestershire
