Reviews

Reviews 'Packed with architects' plans and early photographs, as well as drawing on contemporary diaries and memoirs, this book serves a dual purpose: it shows how and why conservatories were built and used before going on to discuss their conservation in technical detail. Essential reading, then, for anyone embarking on a restoration project.' Tiffany Daneff, Country Life 'This book provides a concise history of the conservatory, starting with Queen Henrietta Maria's 1630s orangery at Wimbledon and ending with some striking modern examples.' Peter Parker, A Magazine
