John Evelyn's Diary. 2nd June 1676. We returned in the evening by Hampstead, to see [her son] Lord Wotton's (age 33) house and garden (Bellsize House), built with vast expense by [her former husband] Mr. O'Neale, an Irish gentleman who married Lord Wotton's mother, Baroness Stanhope. The furniture is very particular for Indian cabinets, porcelain, and other solid and noble movables. The gallery very fine, the gardens very large, but ill kept, yet woody and chargeable. The soil a cold weeping clay, not answering the expense.
