Little Court, Charminster, Dorset, of
which we give two views and a plan, is a country
house built from the designs of Mr. P. Morley
Horder, F.R.I.B. A., of London. It is constructed
of brick and rough cast, with a random stone
course and mullions to some portions, the roof
being covered with dark brown tiles. Particular
attention has been paid to the laying out of
the gardens. The principal rooms look out on a
long lawn flanked by pergolas; from the veranda
adjoining the dining-room a long walk flanked
on one side by a broad flower-bed and on the other

summer-house ; and north of this is a well-arranged

be erected near Carlisle from Mr. Morley Horder's
designs, the materials in this case being local red
sandstone with grey tiles for the roof. The site lent
