The Orangery

The Orangery is an early 19th-century structure built between 1800 and 1801 by George Richardson. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a roof that is hidden behind a blocking course. The building has a moulded and dentilled cornice and is a tall single storey with a five-bay east elevation. Each bay is filled with a large glazing bar sash, with the central bay featuring three steps that serve as a doorway. The bays are separated by fluted pilasters, and at the corners, there are urn finials adorned with swags. At the rear, there is an apsed niche that houses a statue on a pedestal. The south end includes a doorway with a moulded architrave and panelled double doors, while a similar blind doorway is present on the north side. Inside, the walls are decorated with plaster medallions. The orangery was relocated to a slightly different position in the 1920s.
