Ridge And Furrow Glasshouses 15 Metres To North Of Kitchen Garden Of Somerleyton Hall

The ridge and furrow glasshouses, located 15 meters north of the kitchen garden at Somerleyton Hall, date from around 1846 and are likely designed by Sir Joseph Paxton for Sir Morton Peto. These glasshouses feature a cast iron frame and are constructed in a lean-to style on a brick plinth. The structure consists of 22 bays, plus a central entrance that spans 2 bays. This range of glasshouses is significant as it completes the vista through the north entrance of the kitchen garden and is recognized for its group value in the context of the historic garden. The nearby buildings, such as the entrance turnstile and gift shop, are not included in this listing. The garden is also noted in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission County Register of Gardens at Grade II.
