Central entrance to east with pair of wrought iron gates, square sandstone gate piers with plinths, friezes and pyramidal caps, and flanking walls ramped up to full height with square brick piers, each with moulded stone cornice, cap and carved lion statue; west entrance with pair of boarded gates, square stone gate piers with pyramidal caps, and flanking walls ramped up to full height. Small segmental-headed boarded doors to north-west and south-west. 2 short stubs of wall project from the main circuit to the south. Orangery: painted timber frame with some red brick at rear; hipped stone slate roof with gablets. One storey. Moulded gutter; probably later central brick ridge stack. Pilasters dividing wooden cross-windows with margin lights; 5 windows each side of central French casement with side-lights; 4-window return fronts. One-storey lean-to at rear. Interior: domed ceilings; internal roller blinds; Pitchford Hall (qv) was restored and enlarged in the 1870's and 1880's by George Devey (1820-86) so the rebuilding or remodelling of the orangery might date from that time or soon after. A building on the same site is shown on the tithe map of 1848. Salop Records Office, document no. 3348/T/1-2.
