Sash Windows for Temple Greenhouse at Croome Court Pershore-based Carlton Smith Projects Ltd have been contracted by The National Trust to supply and fit the large sash windows for the Temple Greenhouse at Croome Court. The original windows were made by John Hobcraft in 1763 at a cost of £84. In the Victorian era it is believed the sash lights were changed in favour of larger panes of glass and were removed in the 1950s and possibly to construct a greenhouse by one of the estate workers in High Green. The windows are constructed in the traditional manner using Larch with European Oak cills and are 4.65m in height and 2.10m in width.
