The boiler house of the Camellia House was cleared of debris and recorded as a prelude to the restoration of the building. Built around 1818, the building appears initially to have been heated using a warm air system incorporating a hypocaust under the stone-slabbed floor. In the late 19th or early 20th century, this gave way to a steam heating system using cast-iron piping. The boiler house and furnace of the secondary system were cleared with the aid of NTS Conservation Volunteers and the Rangers staff, and some attempt was made to understand the sequence of floors and sheds which must once have existed. It is intended to display the boiler area to the public, including interpretive boards based on the evidence revealed during the clearing exercise.
