in the old part, is tile hung over the older
half-timber work, and the interior has
many interesting features, notably an old
spiral staircase with a ship’s mast as newel
post. The alterations include the enlarge-
ment of the hall, kitchen offices, etc., and
the addition of a wing in character with
the original portion, and built largely of
material taken from an old barn, used in
conjunction with mixed 2in. bricks, the
joints of which have been raked out and
left. 0 0 0 0 a 0
The Old Manor House at Ellisfield, in
Hampshire, is another venerable building
which has been converted to modern use,
the original structure having been a brick
house of early Jacobean character, with
mullioned and transomed windows framed
in moulded bricks, lightly skimmed over
with plaster. The building was considerably
altered in Georgian times and again at a
later date. In his treatment of this old
house, Mr. Goodhart-Rendel has cleared
away the more dilapidated and objectionable
features, while retaining, as far as possible,
any portion of the original structure of
architectural interest or antiquarian value,
and has added a new wing (forming the
foreground of the picture) which is frankly
modern in treatment. The result is un-
doubtedly interesting and attractive. The
house at Milffield, Surrey, designed by
Mr. George A. Allan for E. Randall, Esq.,
is entirely new and is built of sand-faced,
multi-coloured bricks with stone dressings,
and roofed with hand-made, sand-faced
tiles. The solid oak, half-timbered work is
filled in with herring-bone brickwork, while
the floors and doors to the principal rooms
and also the panelling in the dining room
are in oak. The windows have wooden
frames with steel casements. Open fires
have been omitted, except in the sitting
room and one bedroom, the house generally
being heated by radiators. 000
