they might be rather taken for the seats
of the nobility, than the country houses
of citizens and merchants. Mr. Scawen
intended to build a magnificent house
here in a fine park which is walled round,
and vast quantities of stone and other
materials were collected by him for this
purpose; but the design was never car-
ried into execution. Here also Dr. Rat-
cliff built a very fine house, which af-
terwards belonged to Sir John Fellows,
who added gardens and curious water-
works. It at length passed into the pos-
session of the Lord Hardwick, who sold
it to the late William Mitchell, Esq;
and it is now in the possession of his
family.

have been the seat of the Kings of Mer-
cia, during the Heptarchy, till Offa gave
it to the monastery of St. Alban's. Henry
VIII. however bestowed it on Richard
Morison, Esq; from whom it passed to
Arthur Lord Capel, Baron of Hadham,
and from him by inheritance to be
the manor of the Earls of Essex, who
have here a noble seat erected in the form
of an H, with a large park adorned with
fine woods and walks: the gardens were
planted and laid out by Le Notre in
the reign of King Charles II. The front
and one side are of brick and modern,
the other side is very old. The print
shews it better than description.
