Wow! That's an impressive sight, Tom.
Tom Wilson: The whole thing is even more so, Ray - it's 450 long!

Now that is a decent sized flat pack conservatory
Tom Wilson: Just the thing for the back of your house, Richard?
will heat up nice in summer time
Tom Wilson: Indeed - and it was heated the rest of the year, so the Hall could have peaches at Christmas smile
Bet they have some unusual plants in there. Did you go in?
Tom Wilson: One half of the range is almost entirely grapes, the other half is still under restoration - all told it is 450 feet long.
What a fine building, we still have to venture into the Walled Garden as yet.
Tom Wilson: Check out their apple day, Brian - they sell apples grown in the walled garden -delicious varieties you just can't get anywhere these days.
Wow, what a nice looking building Tom!
Tom Wilson: Yes, pretty stunning when you see all 450 feet of it!
