 The round pavilion, 

 shown in Fig. 309, 

 stands at the corner of 

 the formal garden at 

 Little Ridge, laid out by 

 Mr. Detmar Blow and 

 Mr. Fernand Billerey, 

 and is of characteristic 

 and interesting design. 

 Elliptical arches rest on 

 its stout piers, and above 

 the cornice the roof, 

 ogee in section, rises to 

 a pretty ball . finial. A 

 simple and attractive 

 round summer-house at 

 the end of a grass walk 

 at Wittersham is shown 

 in Fig. 312. 



A good treatment of 

 a garden-house in the 

 corner of a walled garden is seen at Great Maytham, designed by Mr. Lutyens 

 (Fig. 310). Though the scale is small, the little pavilion is given an air of comely 

 dignity by the few steps which lead up to its door 

 and there is a practical thought in this provision. 

 It gives a view over the outer garden from the 

 windows on the far side. Yet another idea for a 

 pavilion in the corner of a walled garden is afforded
