The great Hall^measures 74 feet 10 inches in length, and 27 in breadth,, and is 26 feet 8 inches high ; and has at one end a richly- carded screen, supporting a grand music gallery, which bears the arms of Thomas, Eail of Dorset, with those of his countess. In the chimney are a very curio«» pair of ancient dogs, of elaborate workmanship. The hall is adorned with several whole^ength £Eimily portraits, and has the Deb, or raised floor,, at one end, agreeably to ancient usage, for the principal ta...ble of the noble possessor of the mansion ; while other tables stood length- ways down the hall, for tenants and domestics of the family. The long table now remaining here was constructed for the game of shuffle-board, an ancient and popular amusement. The windows are of stained glass. The staircase, on the prindpal standards, has the leopard argent, spotted sable supporting a shkld, which also appears surmounting the gables, on the front of the building. The Holbein gallery measuring 88 feet in length, contains an extensire collection of portraits of illustriouB persons, by Holbein or his scholars; Every room, indeed, has its attractions : independent of the richly fur- nished gallery of pictures, of which we subjoin a list, many of the apart- ments are hung with curious tapestry, and contain large ebony cabtnetr, magnificent stale beds.
