Description:In addition to the hot houses, West Hill had its own Conservatory which was also used for growing exotic fruits. Eight 'fine orange trees in pots’ were kept in the Conservatory, which also housed a ‘wire work aviary’ for birds. The Conservatory must have been a considerable size, the inventory stating that it housed ‘about 400 Pots of various Green House Plants’.
