GV I
Terrace. 1795-1800 for Samuel Whitbread II by Henry Holland, as part of the
remodelling of Southill Park. Ashlar, probably Portland stone. Approximately
150 metres long, returning southwards at each end. Balustrading approximately
half metre high, gates about 2 metres high. The 'balustrading' is in the form
of round-headed arcading, with wrought iron diamond shape within each arch.
Terrace has urns on plinths at intervals, the returns terminating in plinths
supporting lead reclining female figures, these latter added after 1812 by
Whitbread, when he purchased a number of statues by Sir Henry Cheere. The
gateway, in line with the central block of the house, bears the Byng arms, and
was rediscovered and erected here 1900. These ornate gates and screen are of
wrought iron, with scroll-work and foliate cresting above the gates. The
gateway is approached from the N by a flight of stone steps flanked by low
ashlar wall with urns to corner piers. (C Hussey, "Southill Park", Country
Life, 12th July 1930, p.48.)
