Thor Place, Hampshire

Thor Place, the Hampshire estate of Mr. Neil Gibson.
“Yes, he bought a considerable estate in Hampshire some five years ago." (Sherlock Holmes)

A walk of half a mile or so across a wind-swept heath, all gold and bronze with the fading ferns, brought us to a side-gate opening into the grounds of the Thor Place estate. A path led us through the pheasant preserves, and then from a clearing we saw the widespread, half-timbered house, half Tudor and half Georgian, upon the crest of the hill. Beside us there was a long, reedy pool, constricted in the centre where the main carriage drive passed over a stone bridge, but swelling into small lakes on either side.
