FERME DE TURPE, NORMANDY.


The Ferme de Turpe is situated near the town of Neuchatel-en-Bray,
famous for its cheese. It has fewer interesting details than the
Manoir d'Ango and is in even poorer repair, but in massing and general
picturesque effect it offers many suggestions which can be utilized to
advantage in our country houses.

Of these four views very little need be said. The charming
picturesqueness of the two general views is sufficient excuse
for presenting them, but they contain much more to the student of
architecture who cares to look for it. The two detailed views give an
excellent idea of the simple, straightforward methods of the builders.

MANOIR D'ANGO. NORMANDY.


This building was erected between the years 1530 and 1542. Its general
design and especially its detail are of the François I type, and very
beautifully executed, as will be seen from the larger scale details.
The materials as indicated are stone and brick.

In Benoist's La Normandie Illustrie a remarkably interesting circular
brick dove-cote is shown in the courtyard of this _manoir_, but it
does not appear in any of our views, and may have been demolished
