Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 35 when the house was built. They are close to, but not on, the line of the original entrance drive The Orangery or Summer house, previously only known in 1864 from maps can be clearly seen, although it is displaced from the correct location much closer to the eastern end of the House. Nothing remains of it except the curve in the wall at the back of the Herbaceous border which was to accommodate the Summer House. It appears to have been a typical Orangery / Summer House of this period. A generation later it was described as being “a handsome Conservatory 35 feet by 18 feet with furnace and potting house in the rear 53 ” Fig. 21 Summer house 1844 [detail from Fig 20] ** The top of the “ha-ha”, the ornamental ditch that separates the lawn areas around the house from the productive countryside without forming a barrier visible from the house, is just visible in this picture, curving from its closest approach to the house on the eastern side (where it formed the southern side of a walk that linked the house with ornamental areas and the distant Walled Garden) to being three times further away from the building. 53 W&SHC 173/61 Sale catalogue entitled “The Lackham estate in the county of Wilts 1864

Rooke and his second wife bought Lackham. It may have been to accommodate a large number of servants. 54 13 children!
