=Cowdry Park=, 34. In this extensive and beautiful park are situated the
picturesque ruins of Cowdry House, once the magnificent seat of the
noble family of Montague. These ruins are situated in a valley, near the
banks of the Arun, between two hills crowned with woods, the present
state of which bear evident testimony of the former magnificence and
splendour of this justly celebrated mansion. It was richly decorated
with paintings, and contained a choice collection of books, which,
together with the house, and the whole of its valuable furniture, was
destroyed by fire, on the night of the 24th of September, 1793. Its
present possessor, Pointz Cowdry, Esq. has erected a new brick house in
the park, about a mile from the ruins, in which he resides.

=Cranbury House=, 78, the seat of Lady Holland, is an extensive mansion,
commanding some good views of the surrounding country, in which the
river Itchin, the Southampton water, and the Isle of Wight, are
prominent and interesting features. The home scenery is very fine, and
the grounds are enriched by plantations.
=Cranford Park=, 174, the seat of Lady Berkley. The park is a perfect
flat, but abounding with wood, and well watered by the Crane. The house,
an ancient building, is situated in an angle of the park near the
church: though it commands no variety of prospects, yet, from the
distribution of the woods and other embellishments, it may be deemed a
pleasant retirement. Cranford is celebrated for game, particularly
pheasants.
Crawford, ---- Esq. 51.
=Crockerhill House=, 216.
Crook, ---- Esq. 75, 131. (_see Kempshot Park_)
=Crowhurst Park=, 22, the seat of J. Pelham, Esq. This mansion is
desirably situated in a pleasant park, and commands extensive views of
the British Channel.
=Cuckfield Place=, 50, the seat of the Rev. Mr. Sergison. This mansion
stands in a picturesque situation, surrounded with a park. The approach
is from the high road to Brighton, by a spacious gravel walk, bordered
with noble trees, to the gate-house, which opens into a court leading to
the principal entrance of the mansion.
