Chiswick House
PORTICOED ENTRANCE TO CHISWICK HOUSE, AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SURVIVAL
The palmy days of this Palladian mansion occurred during its occupation by the 5th Duke of Devonshire. He elaborated the grounds, his taste running to such embellishments as an ornamental sheet of water leading to a Roman temple, antique statues dug up in Adrian's garden in Rome, an exact model of the portico of St Paul's Covent Garden - and so on. The statue in the photograph is of Inigo Jones. Charles James Fox died at Chiswick House in 1806, and George Canning in the same room twenty-one years later.
