CASHIOBURY, in Hertfordshire, situated sixteen miles north of London, is
said to have been the seat of the Kings of Mercia, 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 came 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.
