Fairford Park

The gardens and the wilderness thereunto belonging (containing between twenty and thirty acres of ground) are a curiosity generally connected with this of the church.

Opposite the north front of the villa stand four images, representing the four seasons of the year; beyond which is a vista through the deer-park, terminated by an obelisk, nearly a mile distant, between two woods.

From the upper end of the middle one is the most pleasant and delightful view of the canal, (answering thereto) proceeding from the river Coln, which glides its silver streams along the bottom of the wilderness.
