Fig. 214.—RALPH ALLEN’S HOUSE AT BATH.
Fig. 215.—The Aylesford Hotel, Warwick.
No doubt the house at Warwick, which, for the time being, is the Aylesford Hotel (Fig. [215]), was built for some such purpose as has just been indicated; it is a handsome and interesting example of the early part of the eighteenth century. Just outside the east gate is the house where Walter Savage Landor was born in 1775. Another house of the same kind is that of Ralph Allen at Bath (Fig. [214]), which is an architectural composition of much greater pretensions, now almost hidden from public view. It will be remembered that his country house was Prior Park.
