Gardens were now laid out on definite architectural plans to form fitting frames for

Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. The mansions of these periods show a
general similarity in their arrangement. The smaller houses had a central hall flanked at
one end by kitchen and offices, and at the other by withdrawing- and living-rooms; while
the larger type was quadrangular with similar accommodation, but with additional
rooms grouped round the court, and with a gatehouse in the centre of the entrance
side. Elizabethan architects used the Tudor plan for smaller houses, but they de-
veloped the E-shaped plan from the quadrangular plan by omitting one side, thus
admitting sunlight and allowing freer circulation of air. The gatehouse often became a
detached building.
