Gibside, an extensive domain, the seat of the Countess Dowager of Strathniore, andof her son, John Bowes, esq., member of parliament for the south division of the countyof Durham, is situated in the midst of a delightful park, five miles and a half south-westof Newcastle. The mansion occupies a sequestered site on the southern bank of the Derwent,and is approached through a wood of venerable oaks. It is an ancient structure, in thestyle that prevailed in the seventeenth century. At the end of a most beautiful terrace,nearly in front of the house, stands an elegant chapel, which was built in 1812 bythe late Earl Strathniore, and ornamented with a portico and highly-embellished dome.At the other extremity of the terrace rises a fine Ionic column of stone, one hundred andforty feet in height, surmounted by a colossal figure of Liberty, and embosomed in anextensive wood.
