=Holland House=, 69, the seat of Lord Holland, erected in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, is a venerable and stately gothic structure, standing
at the summit of a spacious lawn, which gently rises from the road,
commanding views over the Surrey hills. The grounds are pleasantly
arranged, and well wooded.
=Holme Park=, 177, the seat of Charles Fysh Palmer, Esq. This is an
elegant mansion. The river Thames glides beneath the elevated spot on
which the house is situated, and flowing through a beautiful valley, is
seen winding between the distant hills, and giving additional lustre to
the surrounding country, which is extremely pleasing, and, in many
places, picturesque.
=Holwood=, 16, the seat of ---- Pocock, Esq. was purchased of the
Barrow’s family by the Right Hon. William Pitt, the celebrated Prime
Minister. This was his favourite retirement: the grounds and scenery are
extremely beautiful.

=Hungerford Park=, 181, formerly the residence of the Barons of
Hungerford, but now the seat of ---- Willes, Esq. It is a neat mansion,
in the Italian style, built on the site of the old house. The lands
surrounding the house are mostly cultivated, part of which are laid out
in pleasure grounds. The south and west are closed with woods; but to
the north the country is open, and the eye ranges over a considerable
extent of beautiful scenery.
=Hursley Lodge=, 85, the seat of Sir William Heathcote, Bart. M. P. This
is a substantial spacious edifice, pleasantly situated in a park well
stocked with deer, and embracing extensive woods and shrubberies. It was
the residence of Richard Cromwell; and, in pulling down the old manor
house, on the site of which the present building is erected, the seal of
the commonwealth of England was found.
=Hurstbourn Park=, 100, the beautiful seat of the Earl of Portsmouth.
The mansion is situated on elevated ground, commanding various and
extensive prospects: it consists of a centre, and two uniform wings,
connected by colonnades with the body; the chief apartments are
decorated with numerous paintings, by the best masters. The park is well
wooded, and abounds with fine deer.
