Numerous illustrations of the fifteenth century give a bowling- green and butts for archery. About this date it is assumed the style of English gardening was affected by French and Flemish methods, which our connec- tion with Burgundy at th...at time would bring about. To this period is also ascribed the introduction of the " mount " in England, although one would almost say that it is but a survival of the Celtic " barrow." It is a feature that came, however, into very common use, and is thus recommended by Bacon : " I wish also, in the very middle, a fair Mount, with three Ascents and Alleys, enough for four to walk abreast, which I would have to be perfect circles, without any Bulwarks or Imbossments, and the whole Mount to be thirty foot high, and some fine Banquetting House with some chimneys neatly cast, and without too much Glass." The " mount " is said to have been originally contrived to allow persons in the orchard to look over the enclosing wall, and would serve not only as a place from which to enjoy a pretty view, but as a point of outlook in case of attack.
