There stood the church and there the village, and, pleased with such vicinity, he sat himself down close to his God and to his tenants.
As you pass along the road from Guestwick into the village you see the church near to you on your left hand; but the house is hidden from the road.

As you approach the church, reaching the gate of it which is not above two hundred yards from the high road, you see the full front of the Great House.

Perhaps the best view of it is from the churchyard.

The lane leading up to the church ends in a gate, which is the entrance into Mr Dale's place.

There is no lodge there, and the gate generally stands open,--indeed, always does so, unless some need of cattle grazing within requires that it should be closed.
But there is an inner gate, leading from the home paddock through the gardens to the house, and another inner gate, some thirty yards farther on, which will take you into the farmyard.
