Brief Description
This is part of the HLF funded project to regenerate, restore and refurbish the buildings and grounds of Orleans House Estate. The Gallery is part of a Grade 1 listed site and consists of the Octagon Room (completed in 1720 to entertain Royalty) and the West Wings.
The gallery is to be transformed into a heritage information hub and study centre, overcoming the degradation of the fine interior, insensitive piecemeal introduction of services over the years.
