Description:This photograph of the Orangery under restoration was taken during a field trip to Blithfield Hall by the Landor (Local History) Society.

This late 18th century Orangery was designed by James 'Athenian' Stuart and built around 1769 under the supervision of Samuel Wyatt. It is of a similar design to the Orangery at nearby Ingestre Hall.

Blithfield Hall, the home of the Bagot family since 1367, is a medieval house with later additions. The house was re-modelled in a Tudor castellated style in 1820-1824; the architect was possibly John Buckler.
