I came across your article whilst looking up about the Notra dame estate as I grew up there from 1971- 1985 and I lived in Mandeville house opposite the orangery. Me and my sister and friends would play on the green opposite and also in the orangery as it was not fenced off then. It would be nice if it was restored and looked after.

There is Coade stone in a screen in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor and throughout Buckingham Palace, as well as it being used in a memorial for Nelson at the Royal Naval Hospital in Greenwich and the lion on Westminster bridge is also made from it,, according to a book I have got on the family. Eleanor Coade, who formulated the recipe for the artificial stone, died in 1821.

Hi Jack, thanks for another amazing post! As for the orangery I wished it would be restored and used for the public. We‘ve got a similar building in Neubrandenburg which is a famous place for marriage and filming. Have a nice weekend! Best wishes Elke
