MORE-HOUSE, (Hertfordshire) near Watford, was purchased, in the last century, by Sir John Franklyn; whose son sold it to Thomas E. of Offory, son to the D. of Ormond, who also sold both the seat and park to the D. of Monmouth. The house, which is very fine, stands on the side of a hill, facing Cashioberry on the other side of the r. It has been allowed one of the best pieces of brick-work in England. The Dss. of Monmouth, on whom it was settled by marriage, sold it in 1720 to Ben. Hoskins Styles, Esq; who built a S. front of stone, with colonnades; by which an opening was made thro' the hill, that obstructed its view towards Uxbridge. A N. front was also erected, and the hill towards Watford cut thro' for a vista; in digging of which were found veins of sea-sand, with muscles. It is now the seat of John Eyles Stiles, Esq;.
