Palm House to west of Orangery

The Palm House, located to the west of the Orangery at Tatton Park, was built around 1860 and is possibly designed by Sir Joseph Paxton or G H Stokes. It features a red brick construction in English garden wall bond, with rendered brick, stone dressings, and a roof made of cast iron and glass. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a square hall at the west end and a wing of the same height extending to the east. The south facade displays slightly over four pilaster-buttressed bays from the south wall of the eastern kitchen garden. The east end of the wing has a low 20th-century glass house attached. The east and west walls of the square western hall are rendered, and its west and north walls are supported by pilaster buttresses. All walls, except for the south and eastern ends of the wing, feature a modillion cornice, and there are four iron finials on the roof of the square hall.

Inside, the eastern wing has 5½ bays formed by iron trusses that are supported on stone corbels. The square western section now includes eight arched braces that function as pierced girders at angles, with a glazed central square in the middle of each side.
