Manor House at Newport
BUTTRESS TOWER AND TWISTED CHIMNEYS
The superb vista enjoyed from one end of the
living-room looking down the gallery and across
the dining-room covers a distance of two hundred
feet or more.
The entrance is reminiscent of that beautiful
Sussex seat, Cowdray House.
The sweet low lines of Tudor tradition, the
spacious square-headed windows, battlemented
parapets, twisted chimneys, buttress tower, stone
arches, plum-coloured bricks, seasoned flags with
grass springing up in the interstices, are indelible
memories.
