I drove home by a fine house of Lord Rawnelaughs, 14 windows in the
ffront, a square building—much gardening and Curious they say, but that
Ladyes Pride is, none must see them, and soe Drove a fine Gravell road
cut with rows of trees. In a mile you come to a broad open way to
Windsor on the Left hand, on the Right to a little house of y^e Duchess
of Marlboroughs, which is very exact gardens and ffountaines, Cut hedges
and Groves, pail’d in; ffrom this house is the ffine Gravell walke
continued very broad between high rows of trees—on one hand a ffine
Grove of straite trees.
This is three mile to Windsor all a Clear visto to the Castle, to that
