Blagrave, ---- Esq. 178. The seat of this gentleman is a handsome regular structure, with wings, most advantageously situated in a pleasant and tastefully diversified park, agreeably embellished with gently rising lawns, and trees of various foliage, grouped, and otherwise most judiciously arranged, by which means the north front is rendered perfectly secure from the chilling blasts incidental to that quarter. It is famous for its fine venison. Bland Burgess, Sir James, 22. (_see Beauport_) Bland, ---- Esq. 62. (_see Randall House_) Blandford, Marquis of. (_see Duke of Marlboro’_) 177.

Borrodaile, ---- Esq. 52. =Botley Grange=, 212. =Bounds=, 14, the property of the Earl of Darnley. The demesne surrounds the park, and consists of about 1000 acres of well-wooded and picturesque land. =Bower House=, 199. =Bow Wood=, 185, the magnificent seat of the Marquis of Lansdown. The mansion house stands on elevated ground; it consists of three distinct parts, erected at different periods, consequently exhibiting different styles of architecture. The first part was built by John, Earl of Shelburne, grandfather to the present possessor, which, in style of architecture, resembles an Italian villa. The first marquis extended the building by adding a wing, 300 feet in extent, in imitation of a wing of Dioclesian’s palace at Spalatro; this forms the southern side of two quadrangular courts, which are surrounded by domestic offices. The third portion, to the north of the house, but connected with it, consists of a series of private apartments, which are appropriated to visitors. It is situated in an extensive and beautiful park, greatly diversified by nature, and enriched by skilful and judicious cultivation. The principal front faces the south, and commands the most beautiful and richly variegated prospects. It is ornamented with a large portico, supported by columns of the Doric order, with corresponding entablatures, whence a pediment arises, on which the family arms are sculptured in bold relief. The entrance hall, or vestibule, is paved with tesselated marble. The apartments are fitted up in the most elegant style, and many are ornamented with valuable pictures and drawings.
