Parnell, ---- Esq. 188. (_see Woodbarrow House_)
=Paultons Park=, 86, the seat of Hans Sloane, Esq. The house stands in a
rather secluded situation; but the park, embracing a circumference of
about five miles, is beautifully wooded, and interspersed with spacious
lawns.
=Pavilion, the=, 51, 60, 219, H. R. H. the Prince Regent. This mansion
is fitted up with all the assistance of taste and art. It is situated
near the north-west of the Steyne, =Brighton=, and was erected in 1784,
having a handsome sea front, extending 200 feet, in the centre of which
is a circular building, having a lofty dome raised on pillars, two wings
were lately added to the fabric, which now renders its proportions
complete. The interior is fitted up with the utmost magnificence, and
the furniture is mostly Chinese. Towards the street the front forms a
square, with a colonade in the centre, supported by columns, looking
over a green, formerly the road. On the north side of what was formerly
called the Promenade Grove, a magnificent building has been lately
erected, in the centre of which is a lofty dome, fitted up as stabling
for the Prince Regent’s stud. On the eastern side is a racket-court, on
the west a riding house, and on the north coach houses and stabling for
the coach and saddle horses, elegantly finished in the Chinese style.

which are finely wooded, have been considerably enlarged and improved by
its present noble possessor, who finished the mansion began by the late
Lord, who died in 1765. It stands on a bank sloping to the river,
sheltered on the north and east by elevated grounds, crowned with
luxuriant plantations. The apartments are elegantly fitted up, and
enriched with a valuable collection of pictures. The library contains a
choice assemblage of the best authors. The conservatory is to the west
of the house, fronting the south, near the bank which overlooks the
river. The offices are most judiciously concealed by plantations.
