G.V. II *
Palm house. c1824 by Decimus Burton as part of a continuous group with the
stabling, designed as a screen against "unpleasant objects" in relation to the
villa. Glass and iron on brick plinth with a flight of stone steps and backed
by a tendered wall. The iron and glass frame forms quarter-ellipsed with
close-set glazing bars of umbrella-like construction, carved on 3 concentric
T-section purlins each supported at intervals by standards. Glazed barred
vaulted entrance fronted by attenuated columns with moulded lintel and
segmental, radial glazed, fanlight-pediment. This palm house is one of Burton's
first experiments in the structural use of iron and glass.
