SC - succession-houses

[Terry Nutter]

Hi,

Just thinking about the discussion on succession-houses.  Perhaps 
trying the word orangery might help.  I believe that the orangery 
also served as a ball/supper room in summer (solid rooves meant that 
the plants couldn't stay in there all year round).  The Conservatory 
Book, by Peter Marston, is very informative on the history of such 
things (with photographs of extant buildings and contemporary 
pictures of noteworthy but now defunct buildings.  I've sent this a 
second time because I don't think it reached you the first time.  
My apologies if it did and this is a double-up.
