The Orangery Conservation Project

In January 2023, we embarked on an innovative conservation project to reinstate the roof of The Orangery to its original slate composition. It is the first Grade 1 listed building to carry out a project of this kind. This process involved the removal of the existing glass ceiling, replacing it with a hand crafted timber and slate structure. Over the course of the last three centuries, the Orangery has fulfilled a range of roles, from a greenhouse to a theatre to an art gallery and most recently, a restaurant.
