Monumental flight of steps. Circa 1920 in a classical style, by Philip
Tilden for Sir Philip Sassoon. Stone. Broad flight of 125 shallow steps
up hillside, with stone terracing to each side. Lower stages of flight
flanked at intervals by 3 pairs of low, swagged stone plinths with convex
tops, and rams head to each corner. Towards top, steps flanked by
rusticated stone walls, the bases of twin Roman temples which were removed
on Sir Herbert Baker's advice soon after erection. Below each temple base, a
platform formerly containing a cistern, into which extend stone lion masks,
from Verona, spouted water. See also item 3 & 6/8 (Country Life Vol. LIII,
