8/112 Orangery with flanking walls, botheys, 15.3.66 glasshouse and pavilions (formerly listed as Orangery and 2 pavilions at Ripley Castle)

GV II*

Orangery, botheys, garden wall with glasshouse and pavilions. Possibly c1785 by William Belwood for Sir John Ingilby, altered 1817-18 for Sir William Amcotts Ingilby, the glasshouse probably c1840. Ashlar, coursed - squared gritstone and glass; orangery roof replaced mid C20. The range is composed of a projecting central 5 x 2 bay single-storey orangery flanked by garden walls, both originally with lean-to glass houses but that to left demolished. The walls terminate in 2 x 1 bay projecting single-storey pavilions in the same Classical style as the orangery. The north side of the flanking walls have range of lean-to botheys and garden stores. The orangery: full-height round-arched windows with fanlight, that to centre having a glazed door. Fluted Ionic pilasters between the windows support moulded entablature and modillioned cornice surmounted by a parapet with blocking pieces and wooden vase balusters. Flanking walls approximately 4 metres high with flat ashlar coping. The pavilions have similar fenestration to the orangery; the left (west) pavilion with rounded pane in the fanlights, and the east pavilion with blocked windows; the parapets are crowned with boar and squirrel finials. Rear: the orangery has a central glazed double door with fanlight in an architrave. 2 flights of cantilevered steps, cyma moulded on the underside and with a plain iron railing, rise against the side walls of the flanking botheys and turn to rise against the rear wall, meeting above the doorway at a gate in the blocking course giving access to the roof. The gateway is flanked by large squirrel and boar finials. The botheys and potting sheds have plain board doors and square small-paned sliding sash windows; the roof is corrugated asbestos. Interior: the west pavilion has a black and white marble fireplace with fluted Ionic columns and shield with boar and squirrel badges. The gardens and woodland walks were remodelled on the site of earlier gardens but by 1847 Sir William regarded the hothouses as an unwise expense and recommended his successor to "upset my folly and houses, etc". The west pavilion was used as a tea room, the east pavilion was converted to a squash court mid C20.
