The Orangery, Tredegar House, Newport, c. 1700 [image 1 of 2]

Description

Constructed in the early 18th century, the Orangery sits in its own walled garden, which features a reconstructed 18th century parterre, made with coloured gravel and crushed shells. Despite its ornamental appearance, both orangery and garden had a practical function, providing vegetables and herbs, and housing exotic fruits to supplement the Morgan family diet and to impress their guests.
