Yorkshire and we saw y^e Session house at Beverly for this Rideing. Agnes Burton is a Seate of S^r Griffith Boyntons, Grandson to S^r ffrancis w^{ch} married my father’s Sister one of William Lord Viscount Say and Seales Daughters. It looks finely In the approach. A mile or two off we pass by another of his houses w^{ch} is newer built and very good Gardens, Called Barmstone,—we Eate some of y^e good ffruite. The house is all built with Bricks and so good Bricke that at 100 years standing no one Brick is faulty; it stands on a pretty ascent. We Enter under a Gate-house built w^{th} 4 large towers into a Court which is large, in y^e middle is a Bowling green palisado’d round, and y^e Coaches runns round it to the Entrance w^{ch} is by 10 stepps up to a Tarress, and thence a pav’d walke to y^e house. Cut box and ffilleroy and Lawrell about y^e Court. The ffront Looks very uniform with severall round buildings on each side answerring Each other with Compass windows, and y^e middle is a Round building, and y^e door Enters in in y^e side of y^t tower w^{ch} was y^e old fashion in Building and is like my brother Say’s house at Broughton. Out of an Entry you Come into a very Lofty good hall, y^e Screen at the Lower End (w^{ch} divides it from y^e Entry) is ffinely Carv’d, the parlour and drawing roome are well proportion’d roomes, and y^e wanscoate is all well Carv’d, y^e moldings of y^e doores and Chimneys are finely Carv’d w^{th} Staggs and all sorts of beasts, woods and some leaves and flowers and birds and angells &c.

There is a very good dineing roome over this and 5 very good Chambers some well ffurnished, all very neate and Convenient w^{th} Closetts to their own apartments and Anty roomes. There is much of y^e Same ffine Carving in the dineing roome, the Chambers are all wanscoated and Carv’d, there is a noble gallery over all, with large windows on y^e sides and at Each End painted very Curiously, out of w^{ch} you view the whole Country round and discover the shipps under saile though at a good distance. The Gardens are large and are Capable of being made very ffine—they now remaine in the old ffashion. There is gravell walks and grass and Close walks, there is one walke all y^e Length of the Garden Called the Crooked walke, of grass well Cutt and rowled, it is indented in and out in Corners, and so is the wall w^{ch} makes you thinke you are at y^e End off the walke Severall tymes before you are, by means of y^e Codling hedge that is on the other side.
