=Kingston House=, 109, the seat of W. M. Pitt, Esq. erected in the year 1720. The form of the building is a long square, 101 feet by 62; it is situated on a rising ground, open to the north on a fine down, exhibiting views agreeably romantic, enriched by plantations. The grounds are laid out with great taste, assisted by a fine reservoir of water, interspersed with islands, covered with trees and shrubs. Kingston, Lady, 79, 221. (_see Portswood_) =Kippington=, 18, the seat of Francis Motley Austen, Esq. once the residence of the celebrated Thomas Farnaby, A. M. one of the most eminent schoolmasters that ever lived. =Knowle Park=, 18, the seat of Lord Whitworth. The magnificent and immense pile which graces the demesne of Knowl, exhibits specimens of the styles of different ages, though by far the greater part is of the times of the Archbishops Bourchier and Morton. The most ancient is probably coeval with the Mareschels and Bigods, who formerly possessed this domain; the most modern is of the erection of Thomas, first Earl of Dorset, in the beginning of the reign of James the First. Many subsequent improvements have been made, the most considerable of which was by Richard, the fifth earl. The building is of a quadrangular shape, chiefly in the castellated style, with square towers, and two large embattled gateways. This edifice covers a space upwards of five acres in extent: the magnitude and feudal style of the building conveys most forcibly to the mind, the idea of days long since past, when baronial pomp, and romantic chivalry, shone in their meridian splendour; nor is the charm broken on entering the hall, still ornamented with all the paraphernalia of its original decorations. The apartments are splendidly fitted up, but their most attractive ornaments are the invaluable collection of pictures they contain. Among the portraits, which are numerous and well preserved, are many of the principal nobility and statesmen who lived in the reigns of Henry the Eighth and his children: some of them are by Holbein. The collection also contains some of the finest productions of Titian, Corregio, Vandyck, Rembrandt, and Sir Joshua Reynolds. Here is also a fine collection of antique _Busts_, mostly purchased in Italy by the late Duke of Dorset. The Park is between five and six miles in circumference, it presents a richly diversified surface, abounds with fine timber and woods, and produces venison of a remarkable fine flavour.
