Orangery And Fernery, Newbattle Abbey

The Orangery and Fernery at Newbattle Abbey is an earlier to mid-18th century classical garden building. It was possibly originally used as an orangery or camellia house before being converted into a fernery in the 19th century. The structure is set into a steep embankment and is constructed of sandstone rubble with an ashlar basecourse, raised ashlar surrounds, an ashlar cornice, an entablature, and a blocking course.

It features a tall rectangular roofless design with seven bays, characterized by an arcade of seven arched window openings. The interior is rendered, and there is rustic stonework visible at the arched opening on the southwest side. A brick buttress and remnants of the structure can be found to the northeast. To the left, there is a long brick wall set back, with a door on the far left that leads to a chamber within the embankment. This chamber may have served as a heating chamber, featuring a vaulted brick ceiling and sandstone rubble walls inside.
