Bridges, H. Esq. 219. (_see Buckingham House_)
Bridges, Mrs. 9. (_see Wooton Court_)
=Bridwell=, 195.
=Broadlands Park=, 86, 211, 220, the seat of Lord Viscount Palmerston.
The house is a neat edifice of white brick, standing on the eastern side
of the river Test, which flows through the park: it was nearly rebuilt
by the late Lord Palmerston, a most eminent connoisseur of his time, who
made a fine collection of paintings, which are preserved in this
mansion.
=Brockenhurst House=, 93, the seat of John Moraunt, Esq. (once the
residence of the philanthropic _Howard_), is a handsome modern building,
situated in a spacious park, beautifully diversified with every variety
of woodland scenery.
=Broom Park=, 9, the seat of Sir Henry Oxenden, Bart. The house is a
respectable building, of the time of Charles the First; the present
Baronet has expended considerable sums in extending and improving the
grounds (which are paled in), though nature, especially in front and to
the west, has afforded but barren materials to work upon.
=Brympton House=, 141.
=Buckingham House=, 219.
=Burfoot Lodge=, 63.
Burlton, W. Esq. 138. (_see Donhead Hall_)
Burnett, Sir Robert, 61.
Burrell, Sir C. 65. (_see Nep Castle_)
Burrell, W. Esq. 65. (_see West Grinsted Park_)
=Burton=, 94.
Burton, ---- Esq. 183. (_see Lockeridge House_)
=Burton House=, 94.
=Burton= (formerly _Bodectin_) =Park=, 39. During the lapse of three
centuries was the seat of the very ancient and knightly family of
Goring, the heir of which brought this estate to the Biddulphs’, of
Biddulph, in Staffordshire, in marriage.
Burton Place is a mansion of great extent, having a singularly handsome
front, one hundred and seventy-three feet in length. It is in the best
style of architecture, by Battesla Leoni, who was much employed about
the beginning of the last century. A venerable residence, built in the
reign of Elizabeth, was partly destroyed by fire, and the present
structure was begun by Sir W. Goring, in 1723. J. Biddulph, Esq. who
succeeded to it, brought it to completion, externally, and within these
few years, the apartments have been fitted up with judgment and taste.
The saloon is a remarkably fine room, 46 feet by 30, and the present
proprietor is John Biddulph, Esq. who has resided at Florence for many
years past, but it is inhabited by his brother, Charles Biddulph, Esq.
