Description

The Orangery, built around 1756-63 by Capability Brown, is a Grade I listed Gothic structure located in Burghley Park. Brown's master plan for Burghley, which includes the orangery, is dated 1756, and Horace Walpole noted its existence in 1763. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a slate hipped roof with battlements. It has eleven bays, with octagonal turrets flanking the central bay and at the corners. The orangery showcases large four-centred arch windows with Perpendicular panelling above, as well as sash windows and a central glazed door adorned with Gothic glazing bars.
