There are also several other large rooms wainscoted with oak; as the court room, at the end of which hangs a valuable picture of Mary Queen of Scots at full length, with King James her infant son in her hand. This leads into a long gallery, at the south end of which is a door into the apartments for the clerk and offices: at the north end a folding sash door opens into a grand square room called the Ladies chamber, where the company have been used at certain seasons to entertain their wives and friends with a ball. In the center of this room hangs a large and beautiful cut chandelier, which was a present from the late Sir Joseph Eyles, when he served the office of Sheriff: and over the chimney piece is a fine picture of Sir Robert Clayton, Lord Mayor of London. Out of the west side of this room is a passage that leads to a place called the Record room; the door to which is of iron; it is strongly built over the passage that leads into the garden, and covered with a cistern that contains such a body of water as may at any time be sufficient to defend this apartment from fire that might spread from the adjacent buildings. DRAPERS GARDENS, are pleasant and commodious, though not very large. They are situated behind the hall, and being nearly square, have on each side rows of lime trees which form very agreeable walks. The middle part, which is enclosed by iron rails, has several grass plats bordered with beds of flowers, and in the center is a statue of Flora. In this part there are also several mulberry trees. These gardens are open every day in the week except Sundays, for all persons decently dressed. DRAYTON, a village in Middlesex, situated on the river Coln, about eighteen miles west from London.
