‘Merry mount”, Huntercombe, Henley- 
on-Thames, the country home of Sir John 
Wimble, is a dignified Georgian design. 
This front is symmetrically arranged with 
windows well spaced. The walls are of 
gray brick and the roof of dark tiles 
The entrance front faces the north. The 
interesting and unusual oriel windows seen 
to the left give light to the stairs. 
Glimpses of the garden can be seen from 
this entrance drive, but not sufficiently 
revealed to destroy privacy 
The garden door 
is a simple Geor¬ 
gian design. 
Above it the 
sundial is so 
placed that it is 
part of the de¬ 
sign made by 
the door and the 
side windows 
The gable over 
the garage in red 
brick and wea¬ 
ther boarding is 
developed into a 
pigeon loft and 
is surmounted 
by a weather- 
vane of a ship 
with all sails set
