Fig, 7 —A temple on a lake 



Topiary work was much used in these gardens, having been intro- 

 duced into England at the time of WiHiam and Mary, from Holland, 

 where it was carried to great extremes. Many quaint designs were 

 worked out in yew and box, such as the twelve disciples, reindeer 

 hunts, various goddesses and gods at play, etc.
