 orangery is a really line 

 building, and the impression 

 the photograph gives (Fig. 

 Joi) hardly does justice to 

 its dimensions. Like so 

 m a n y bui I dings, it is 

 attributed locally to Ink .o 

 (ones, though evidently of 

 the period and probably the 

 handiwork of Sir William 

 Chambers. There is a de 

 lightful fragment at one end 

 ol it the I ron i of a poich 

 oi garden-house that might 

 well have been by Ini;jo 

 Jones ; but this is probably 

 not in its original position, 

 and the two buildings are 

 euiiiely distinct in any 

 case.

to give to his buildings finds expression also in th 



glass roof, however, with its ornamental cast-iron work, is no part of his design, but a later addition, and tin- 

 alteration results in a half-bred conservatory, partly because the walls are unnecessarily strong to earn 

 the light glass roof, and also because they are excluding an unnecessary amount of sunshine for the 

 altered purpose of the building. It would be easy to mention other instances up and down Kn^land 

 but, generally speaking, they are not possessed of much architectural quality. The ruling type has be, n 

 that \\ith tall sash windows between brick or stone piers and a hipped roof behind a parapet . lint th-- 

 architectural possibilities in orangery building are not yet exhausted. With very few exceptions, but 

 little eltort has been expended on them, and so lout; as they art- used solely lor their original purpose ol 



housing the trees, anv ex 

 pense on the interior would 

 be out of place. Hut now 

 they are ielt to be ol 

 much use in tin- sunuuei for 

 social purposes, there is no 

 reason why they should be 

 left behind any other re :ep

If the orangery stands
