The Front is 138 Feet from Wing to Wing: The Roof is adorned with a Stone Baluftrade, and Statutes: but there are several Towers or Cupola's which have but an heavy Aspect; the feeming Weight of which occafioned this Epitaph on the Architect Sir John Vanbrugh. Lie heavy on him, Earth! for He Laid many a heavy Load on thee.
