THE SOUTH VIEW OF KING ALFRED'S HALL, CIRENCESTER PARK (ILLUSTRATED); AND THE NORTH EAST VIEW OF KING ALFRED'S HALL

These two watercolours depict the folly built by Lord Bathurst in the 1720s in a secluded clearing in Oakley Wood in the grounds of Cirencester Park, Gloucestershire. The building was named King Alfred's Hall due to the Alfredian associations of Oakley Wood. The cult of King Alfred was also connected in this period with members of the opposition to Sir Robert Walpole, of which Bathurst was one. King Alfred's Hall seems also to have been used by Alexander Pope, a friend of Lord Bathurst.

A sketch by Thomas Robins of the North East view of the Hall can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
