GLEANINGS ON GARDENS. 25 



Unhappily (as we think) it has lately been destroyed, 

 and an aviary erected on its site. 



Heythrop. 



The grounds chiefly in the ancient taste, with 

 curious artificial cascades. 



Troy House, near Monmouth. 



This seat was famed for its gardens in Charles 

 the First's time, and especially for its delicious fruits. 

 The same gardens were famous in Henry the Eighth's 

 time. 



Ingestree Hall. 



A respectable Elizabethan edifice, surrounded by 

 grounds in the ancient style, but in a great degree 

 modernized by the present possessor. 



Bretby Park. 



A fine old structure, taken down some years ago, 

 said to have been surrounded with gardens disposed 

 after the plan of Versailles, with terraces, statues, and 

 fountains.*
