 The round pavilion, 

 shown in Fig. 309, 

 stands at the corner of ' 

 the formal gardeij 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 , . , ■ j t, i\t^ 



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



(Fig. 310). Though the scale is small, the httle pavihon is given an air of 



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 



pavihon in the corner of a walled garden is afforded
