Figs. 204. and 205. represent the general ground plan of the buildings and grounds, and Jiff. 206. is an isometrical view. In the ground plan, it will be seen that all the effect produced by the trees is the result of single trees and small groups; that these are most abundant on each side of the approach on the entrance front of the house, and in the churchyard; and that the groups on the lawn are chiefly shrubs and flowers. With respect to the kinds of trees, those in the entrance front are in great part fruit trees; those in the churchyard, trees of the third rank, with regard to size, some of which have been already enumerated in a preceding page; and those on the lawn, and around the kitchen-garden, embrace so great a variety, both of trees and shrubs, as to constitute a tolerably good collection.

a, Carriage entrance and lodge; the trees on each side being chiefly fruit-bearing kinds, and ornamental trees, such as thorns, etc of moderate size. b, Entrance to the offices, c, Walk from the vicarage to the church. d, Walk across the churchyard to the school, e, School and school gardens. f, Paddock.
