In the rear and on the south were a few acres belonging to the premises, which had been originally planned for a magnificent lawn, but were subsequently, for cer tain reasons, devoted to more useful purposes. The grounds, at the most distant extremity from the house, were bounded by a sparkling brook, whose source was in a range of hills a few miles distant.

John Beauchamp Jones (1810-1866) was a writer whose books enjoyed popularity during the mid-19th century.
