heated back wall with an arch through to a barrel-vaulted
glazed transept at the rear with brick walls; in the angles at
the back are hovels, that to the north having a furnace in the
basement.
EXTERIOR: the orangery has 9 bays with stone piers to the

the cast-iron main frames, the bays with small panes and iron
