No. 4 [fig. 100], the form next in succession, was of the date of William III. and George I., and has been commonly called an H, or half H. This kind of house is often rendered very inconvenient by the centre being one great hall, which breaks the connexion of apartments above stairs. It is also further objectionable, because it is a mere single house in the centre, and must have offices attached on one side: of this description are STOKE PARK, LANGLEYS, GLEMHAM HALL, DULLINGHAM, and CONDOVER.
