. More famous homes of Great Britain and their stories . d careto be shown a littlemore, and you acceptmy invitation. Con-necting with the bridge is a long, straight wall inclosing a this we pass through a heavy tall door, and after walking apace or two we are suddenly confronted by a strange old-fash-ioned building, quite out of the common run.

A squareembattled tower, known by the term Pele Tower, is the mainfeature ; and surrounding it, blending with its sombre tints ofneutral grey, is an Elizabethan manor-house, with mullionedwindows and latticed panes. Walking up the steps and opening an oak door fully sixinches thick, we find ourselves in a large Hall in which all thatmeets the eye is suggestive of life in some bygone day. Thewalls are panelled with oak till they reach a frieze of intricateplaster-work which merges into a ceiling also of elaborate design :the Tudor badge of the rose and crown, the red and white roses.
