INDEX
TO THE

most remarkable._

Abbot, Right Hon. Charles, 57. (_see Kiddbrook_)
Ackland, Sir T. D. 196, 197. (_see Killerton Park_)
A’Court, Sir Wm. 206. (_see Heytesbury Park_)

=Angmering Park=, 217.

is a modern building, desirably situated on the south side of the Lyhner
river. It contains a collection of old portraits, and some paintings.
Arden, Lord, 47. (_see Nork House_)
Arundell, Lord, 138. (_see Wardour Castle_)
=Arundel Park=, 44, 217, the magnificent seat of the Duke of Norfolk.
This castle stands on a hill, at the southern extremity of an
extensive, well-wooded, and beautiful park. The original, which was very
ancient (mentioned in the will of Alfred the Great), and greatly
delapidated by the unsparing hand of time, has been recently repaired in
the most costly and elegant manner, in the gothic style, at a vast
expence, by the late Duke. This spot has the pre-eminent privilege of
conferring the dignity of Earl, without creation, on whosoever possesses
it; a privilege not enjoyed by any other place in the kingdom.
Arundel Castle stands on an elevated situation, its foundation being a
steep circular knoll, formed partly by nature, and partly by art. From
the castle, the Isle of Wight is visible. The country towards the sea is
low and flat, and it is supposed that the sea once washed the walls of
this edifice, anchors and other marine implements having been found near
it. The park and views from thence comprise a great variety of
picturesque and beautiful scenery.
