Water in the Formal Garden.

Athelhampton Hall, Dorset. Of the two the former (Fig. 192) has a slightly 

 more broken outline, and is given an increased architectural emphasis by the 

 moulding of the raised kerb. The latter (Fig. 191) is as simply made as can be, 

 save that a rounded moulding overhangs the side of the pool a little. It should be 

 noted that the axial hne of this feature cuts through the middle of the gate to the

 interesting vista is thus secured. 



Another little pool, fan-shaped, in the same garden is illustrated in Fig. 193 to 

 show how well it groups with the niche in the wall above it. The possible

combinations of pools with other features are well-nigh endless, and it is not possible 

 to show more than a few typical examples. A very attractive treatment is shown 

 in Fig. 194, where the drop in level from one terrace to another is made the occasion 

 for an amusing little stepped bridge of masonry. This was designed by Mr. W. F. 

 Unsworth and Mr. Inigo Triggs for a garden at Petersfield, and very successful it is. 

 To the same architects is due the manipulation of simple elements in a garden at 

 Island, Steep (Fig. 195). A double flight of steps leads down from a long upper terrace 

 to a lower one, which juts out over the hillside with a semi-circular bastion-like front. 

 The curve of the stairs determined the outline of one end of the pool, and the similar
