"gallery," and his house in Warwick Lane. He directed they should be
brought to Ware Park and remain as heirlooms.] the parental house of
Lady Fanshawe's Royalist husband, as well as from Jenkins and
Parsloes.

But before speaking of the heirlooms it may not be out of place to say
something of these old seats of the Fanshawes and one or two other
places mentioned in the Memoirs.

Parsloes, which stands partly in the parish of Barking and partly in
Dagenham (Essex), is now in a very forlorn and dilapidated condition.
Alterations that have been made from time to time, particularly the
embellishments of 1814, which have somewhat given the old mansion a
Strawberry-Hill-Gothic appearance, have in a measure destroyed its
original character. Yet some panelled rooms remain, and some fine
carved stone fireplaces that were removed here many years ago from the
adjacent Elizabethan mansion, Eastbury House. [Footnote: Vide
"Picturesque Old Houses."]

Jenkins, the more important estate, which passed away from the family
in the early part of the eighteenth century, was a large square-moated
timber house with two towers. Remains of the old fishponds and
terraces may still be traced (about a mile from Parsloes), but nothing
remains of the house or of a later structure which followed it.
Indeed, the very name is now forgotten.

The mansion Ware Park has also long since been pulled down and
rebuilt. It was sold owing to Sir Henry Fanshawe's losses in the
Royalist cause.
