=Chilton Lodge=, 181, the seat of ---- Pearce, Esq. This is an elegant
mansion, boldly and conspicuously situated in a spacious park, adorned
with woods, laid out in the most judicious and tasteful manner. The
house and grounds command many beautiful views.
=Chilworth House=, 211.
=Chipstead Place=, 17, the property and residence of George Polhill,
Esq. whose ancestor, David Polhill, Esq. purchased it in the year 1658.
=Chissel House=, 221.
=Claremont Park=, 25, the seat of H. R. H. the Princess Charlotte of
Wales, and H. S. H. the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg. The mansion was erected
by Lord Clive, the conqueror of India, at an expense of £100,000. It
forms an oblong square of 132 feet by 102. In the principal front a
flight of steps leads to the grand entrance, under a pediment supported
by Corinthian columns. The apartments are spacious and elegant, and the
situation well chosen, commanding various views of the water and
plantations in the park, which are extremely beautiful.

Clutton, W. Esq. 48. (_see Hartswood_)
=Cobham Hall=, 4, the seat of Earl Darnley. This mansion, though not
externally grand, retains sufficient remains of its ancient baronial
splendour to excite considerable interest: it is built in the form of a
half H; the extremities of the side wings are terminated by octagonal
towers, and, with the centre, and a sunk wall in the front, encloses a
quadrangular lawn, ornamented by statues, vases, &c. The centre of the
building was planned by Inigo Jones, and was new cased with brick, and
sashed, by the late Earl Darnley; so that its appearance is not uniform
with the wings, which formed part of the residence of the Cobhams.
The furniture and decorations of the apartments in Cobham Hall are of
the most costly and elegant nature, enriched by a variety of beautiful
sculpture, and a fine collection of pictures.
