=Woodlands=, 1. This mansion was erected, and the grounds laid out, about the year 1772, by John Julius Angerstein, Esq. The front of the building displays a handsome portico, with statues and basso-relievos at the sides: the interior is very tastefully fitted up, and contains a small but well chosen collection of pictures. The grounds are extremely pleasant; the views of the river, and of the adjacent parts of Essex and Kent, are very fine. The Botanic Garden has been recently improved by the erection of a new green-house, &c. and now contains one of the most extensive collections of curious plants and heaths in the kingdom. =Woodley Lodge=, 177. Wood, Sir Mark, 47, 54. (_see Gatton Park_) =Woolhampton House=, 179, the seat of Lord Falmouth, is a good mansion, standing on an elevated spot, but well screened with woods. From many parts of the grounds belonging to this seat, a great variety of pleasing rural scenery is presented to view. The sides of the hills are composed of steep and bold irregularities, shelving into deep and solemn vallies, beautifully adorned by a variety of woody scenery, intermixed with farms and cottages, and varied by extensive prospects. =Wool Lavington=, 39, the seat of John Sargent, Esq. the author of “The Mine,” a poem, which has conferred on him a merited rank among the modern sons of Genius and Taste. Upon his marriage with the heir of the ancient families of Garton and Orme, he rebuilt their former residence in a style of great accommodation and elegance. It lies at the foot of an acclivity called Duncton Hill, which, at a very small distance from the house becoming precipitous, is closely matted with low wood, or alternately bare and open, which harmonises with the richly cultivated valley beneath. The view towards the north commands the rising ground terminating with Tillington and Petworth, when it becomes indistinct, and is lost in the weald country of Sussex. =Wooton Court=, 9, the seat of Mrs. Bridges, is finely situated on an eminence. The house, crowned with wood, makes a conspicuous figure to the traveller. The grounds are picturesque, and are well varied with hill and valley. Worrall, ---- Esq. 63. =Worting House=, 99. Wray, ---- Esq. 220. (_see Upton House_) Wyndham, ---- Esq. 96. X. Ximenes, Sir M. 177. (_see Bear Place_) Z. =Zeals House=, 164. END OF INDEX TO THE COUNTRY SEATS. It is obvious, from the common occurrences of human life, that in the account of Seats, the Proprietor’s names must ever be subject to inaccuracy; but the author can with confidence assert, that up to the period of publication, every possible means has been adopted to obtain the most accurate information on the subject. As in some few instances, however, a difference will be found to occur, in the name attached to the Seat upon the Map, and that mentioned in this Index, the latter must be adopted as the name of the present Proprietor.
