Victorian orangery at Holywell Park restored by Dorothea Restorations

Holywell Park dates back to medieval times and in 2013 Ipswich Council received a substantial grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Park. Some of this was used to restore the Grade II listed Victorian orangery which had been boarded up for many years.

Dorothea Restorations undertook the restoration of all timberwork, wrought iron and the reinstatement of historic crown glass within the structure.

The sash windows and roof light restorations were carried out off-site and all winding mechanisms were restored to their original condition.

All the new crown glass had to be toughened and bespoke template were used to create the circular toughened panes installed above the double doors. The restoration took 6 months and was complete on programme.
