House and Garden 
THE GALLERY—DUNSTER CASTLE 
and the gatehouse and a ruined tower remain. The 
castle was largely added to in 1869, when the present 
owner, George L. Luttrell, Esq., succeeded, the 
architect he employed being Mr. Salvin, a man of 
great experience in such work. He added the large 
tower on the right hand side of the entrance, which 
contains offices and bedrooms, and also the central 
tower on the southeast terrace, but it is all so care¬ 
fully and judiciously done that it is difficult to say 
where the old work ends and the new begins and a 
few more years’ exposure to the weather will make 
it still less apparent. 
While preserving the ancient character and irreg¬ 
ular outline of the building he has not neg¬ 
lected the modern requirements of comfort, light 
and air. There are few places in England which 
combine so much of antiquarian interest with 
so much natural beauty of situation and scenery 
and where the old and new are so harmoniously 
brought together.
