This one, nowadays, provides a mere "welcome" to the rarities and beauties in the 9 other rooms to be explored within the glasshouses!

~ those Victorians knew what they were doing~ this is similar to the glasshouses at Kew and was probably done at around the same time!I if we all have a whip round and commission one where will we put it~ i bet it would cost an absolute arm, leg and torso!
