description

Summary

The Sixth Rate HMS Bridgewater in three positions off Kingsgate (Sandgate (sic)), the North Foreland

The buildings shown on the cliffs are those at Kingsgate built by Lord Holland, circa 1762-1768. Holland's intention was to create an English version of Cicero's Formian villa at Baiae. The central building is Holland House, of which a fragment remains. The others represent assorted follies, in flint, which include stables, an inn and the Arx Ruohim, which purported to be a tower built by King Vortigem.
