By no means the biggest job we have done but still a fascinating and satisfying one, the restoration of the Victorian conservatory at The Cedars, Chorleywood has been successfully completed. This is not Kew or Sion House but it is still a very large piece of historical metalwork with parts reputedly copied or borrowed from the Crystal Palace.

Originally a house for the governor of the Bank of England, The Cedars these days is the centrepiece of a large retirement village and the newly restored conservatory is a fantastic facility for the residents who can be seen here enjoying themselves at the grand re-opening.
