The Victorian Conservatory at Wentworth Castle
The restoration of the Victorian Conservatory was completed in November 2013, after 15 months and £3.5million. It was originally constructed in 1885 by Crompton and Fawkes who described it as an ‘iron winter garden’ in their catalogue. It is a rare surviving Victorian glasshouse and in its day was at the forefront of technology, with electric lighting as early as 1886. It would have been used to display some of the many exotic plants, including orchids, palms and ferns collected by the family from around the world. It has been restored as a temperate glasshouse and now showcases plants from 5 continents.
