This was formerly a place of considerable extent and magnificence, and celebrated from a splendid entertainment given here by the Earl of Hertford to Queen Elizabeth, in the year 1591.

Emley Park, 210.

Englefield House, 178, the seat of Richard Benyon, Esq. This magnificent mansion is situated on the declivity of a verdant hill, sheltering it from the north, and sloping gently thence to a beautiful sheet of water, tastefully arranged in a serpentine form, and ornamented with several woody islands, in which are abundance of wild fowl; the banks of the lake are also rendered most interestingly picturesque by a variety of woody scenery. Beyond this, to the south, a beautiful valley, bounded with swelling hills, delightfully opens to the view, in which the eye with pleasure wanders over the charming variety of woods, interspersed with elegant seats, villages, and cultivated grounds.

Enys—— Esq. 130.

Errington—— Esq. 101. (see Red Rice)
