And above the gallery was another external covered walk, wherein were two "lofty arches of brick, of no small ornament to the house, and rendering it comely and pleasant to all that passed by." The gardens were enchanting, and in perfect keeping with the palace.

They contained some fine canals, fountains, and statues.
