The verandah has four large octagonal columns with pot bases and bell capitals which support a carved pair of animals ridden by couples. The side walls are decorated with arched windows and railings. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Sykes, D.H. | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
