Architectural site planning 3, Jacobean

No. 3 [fig. 99], is a form introduced in the reign of James I., with the quadrangle so small, that it is often damp and dark; of this kind are CREWE, HILL HALL, GAYHURST, and CULFORD; although the latter has been modernised and changed to the form, No. 7 [fig. 103]. Houses of this shape may sometimes be greatly improved by covering the inner court entirely, and converting it into a hall of communication; this I advised at SARSDEN, a house of later date. The offices are generally attached to the side of these houses. In mansions of the foregoing three descriptions, a mixture of Grecian with Gothic is often observed, particularly in those repaired by Inigo Jones.
