The saloon front thirty-five feet six inches, by twenty-five feet six inches, and twenty feet high, finished in the rich and highly decorated style of that period. (1741.) Between the windows are two fine tables of oriental alabaster, of large dimensions, with many beautiful objects in sculpture, and in Dresden porcelain, to which have lately been added several casts of exquisite beauty, brought from Rome. Over the chimney-piece is a beautiful portrait of Louis XV., in his youth, in half-armour, with the royal mantle, presented by his majesty to Mr. Walpole, when ambassador at Paris. An original head of Pope by Richardson. Cardinal Fleury, by Rigaud, given by himself to Mr. Walpole. A view of Holland of large size. The celebrated landscape by Rubens called “The Rainbow,” late in the collection of Mr. Watson Taylor, generally considered as the chef d’œuvre of this great master, in the department of landscape. Andrea Sabbatina. Crucifixion. A Christ bearing his cross, the Virgin kneeling by him, in full size by Murillo. A picture of exquisite merit. A Spanish girl. In the drawing-room, to the right of the saloon, are three beautiful Canalettis, one a view of St. Mark’s cathedral, another a general view of the city of Venice, the third a view in Venice. The Dutch Wedding, by an unknown master, of great perfection, and beauty of finish. A landscape with cattle, by Castiglioni. An exquisitely finished picture of flowers, with the head of our Saviour in the centre in chiaro-scuro, by J. David de Heim. A cabinet picture of Berghem, also a beautiful cast brought lately from Rome by Lord Orford. In Lady Orford’s room, on the left of the saloon is a noble chimney-piece, in verd-antique, with sculpture and statuary, surrounded by a portrait of Louis XIV. in armour, by Jervas. This room is hung with fine Gobelin tapestry, as are also part of the drawing-room, and small dining-room. The chairs, sofas &c., are here covered with tapestry, the fables of Æsop forming the principal subjects. The park is of great extent, comprising upwards of seven hundred acres of land. The fine beech and oaks which adorn it were chiefly planted by the first Lord Walpole. On the south side of the Hall is a bold terrace with a parapet, surmounted with urns, adjacent to which is a beautiful garden, sloping to the margin of an extensive lake, the banks of which are richly clothed with wood, the whole forming, with the distant view of Blickling, a piece of park-scenery which cannot be excelled. For the sake of variety, the road through Erpingham, shortening the distance a mile, may be taken on returning. The church, dedicated to St. Margaret, is a ruin; scarcely anything but the tower remaining. It stands on the north side of the Hall, and is almost concealed by the lofty hollies which surround it.
