King, Vale-Royal 93

Textual Description: 
'And so we next behold the magnificent fabrick of Rock Savage, overlooking the waters and goodly marshes round about the skirts of it, and so contrived in the scituation, that from the lower meadows there is a fine easie ascent up, upon the face of the house; which as you approach nearer still to it fills your eye with more delight, as it is the nature of true beauty; and to see now the late additions of delectable gardens, orchards, and walks, would make one say, it longs to be the abode of so honourable a Master as it doth service to; but his worth is like to have employment where honour herself cannot give too much attendance.'
