PARLIAMENTARY SURVEY OF WIMBLEDON. 319
knotts ; which fountain, statue, cistern, and channelled pavement
we estimate to be worth ^7.
In the middle of the 4 knotts which lie on the East side of Mer-
the said pavement, there is one other Fountain of white marble,
having a statue of a mermaid upon it, and a cistern of lead, ain.
being also shadowed round with twelve Cherry trees, which stand
in the points and angles of those 4 knotts ; which Fountain,
statue, and cistern we value to be worth j/jio.
The other two great squares of the said Lower Level, each of The
them contains within its own square four square grass plots, with ^veT
one handsome round grass plot in the middle thereof, and lie at
the East and West ends of the said eight knotts ; in the middle of
each of which four grass plots stands one fair Cypress tree. The
four grass plots are bordered on all sides and angles with neat
and well ordered thorn hedges, and well planted with many
Cherry trees ; but the value of the said two squares is not otherwise
valuable than as comprised within the yearly estimate of the
whole Garden.
At the west end of the gravelled alley which adjoins to the Garden
South side of the said Manor House, there stands one Garden House.
House, part of boards, part of rails, covered with blue slate, and
ridged and guttered with lead, paved with square stone, having
one door going into the said gravelled alley, one other door going
into the end alley leading to the said Upper Level, and one other
door opening into the Hartichoke Garden ; the materials of which
house we value to be worth .£9.
In the middle of the East wall of the said Lower Level there Shadow
stands one garden, summer, or shadow house, covered with blue House,
slate, handsomely benched and wainscoted in part, and paved with
bricks, the materials whereof we value to be worth ^5.
In the North side of the said alley, next adjoining to the Banquet-
said Manor House, and in the very end of the pale which divides ^uce
the said Lower Level from the Oringe Garden, there stands one
Banqueting House, covered with blue slate, ridged and guttered
with lead, having one room above, floored with boards, the door
whereof opens into the said alley; and one other room below,
paved with tile, the door whereof opens into the Oringe Garden ■
having also in the sides thereof several lights of glass; the
materials of which house we value to be worth £30.
The North side of the said alley, very near as far as the said
knotts ; which fountain, statue, cistern, and channelled pavement
we estimate to be worth ^7.
