Tis fituated feventeen miles north of Oxford, and

about four and an half from the Seat of the Earl of Litchfield. It ftands on an eminence, and has every delight that can refult from a diverfity of Wood, Water, Eminences, and Vales.

An Avenue of above two miles, planted on each fide with Foreft Trees, interfperfed with Clumps of Fir, leads from the North to the grand Area before the House; and by its length and variety, forms an exceeding magnificent Approach.

The Houfe is a regular Edifice, confifting of four Fronts, built in a most elegant ftile of Architecture, and is joined to the Offices by open Arcades. Tho' this beautiful Structure was finish'd but 70 Years ago, and tho' the whole Spot was an open and rather uncultivated Country, the advanced Growth of the Trees, and beautiful Verdure, gives it an Appearance equal to any. We enter the House by a Flight of fteps under a grand Portico, fupported by four lofty Corinthian Columns.
