Fig. 105. Size, 87 feet by 30 feet. Aspect, NNE. A feature is made of 

 a formal group of beds facing the summer house, a sundial occupying the 

 centre of the group. The path terminates in an alpine garden, which com- 

 municates by steps with a detached grass space, planted for shade. The di- 

 viding hedge gives a sense of enclosure to the formal garden, and privacy to 

 the space beyond. 



Fig. 106. Size, 116 feet by 40 feet. Aspect, SW. The summer house, 

 trees, and shrubs screen the diagonal piece of fence. The end space is de- 

 voted to a sunken alpine garden. A low rubble wall retains the borders to north 

 and south-west. A raised circular bed occupies the centre. The roofed space 

 at the house-back is a veranda, from which a pleasant vista down the plot is 

 obtained.
