Fountains of the Courtyard

Fountains of the Courtyard A vain attempt to imitate the French style that had so impressed the young lords and royals in exile before the Restoration, the courtyard sported a large collection of fountains in a big pool of water. They were connected to each other with an ingenious system, a mechanism causing them to spring forth in a rhythm, one after the other, or indeed in any order that the Master of the Garden wished for.

This was the area previously known as the Pebble Court, just behind the Banqueting House, and separated from the Whalebone Court by a brick gallery that had been built in 1668, leading from the Banqueting House to the King's Apartment. The gallery was wrought prettily, with many windows and stairs on the two ends.
