Work on the Orangery

 Scaffolding is now surrounding the Orangery in order to tackle roof repairs. The Orangery is immediately opposite the main gates of the Holkham Walled Garden  and although not part of the walled area it lies within the Ha Ha ditch that was dug to keep out the deer and grazing stock. There is a well stocked  glass house at the back of the Orangery that can be viewed if you ask the Head or Deputy Head Gardener for permission.
