Orangery Roof Leytonstone

Unlike a conservatory, glazing is not the main element of an orangery. An orangery is essentially a brick built extension with proportionately more glass than a traditional structure. Our aluminium orangery roof lights provide natural daylight to flood into your newly built extension.

Particularly popular in kitchen/diner extensions, these beautiful additions complete the modern look whilst still following traditional lines. Order your roof lanterns or orangery roof from The Walthamstow Window Company to complete the new look of your home.

Facts about Leytonstone

History

The main thoroughfare, Leytonstone High Road, is part of an ancient highway from Epping to London, on the borders of Epping Forest. A small hamlet at Leytonstone had existed since the early 14th century, when it formed part of the parish of Leyton in the county of Essex.

The name Leytonstone, originally “Leyton-atte-Stone”, comes from a distance marker called the High Stone, which stands at the junction of Hollybush Hill (the A1199 road with Woodford) and New Wanstead (the A113 road with Woodford Bridge), near the eastern bounds of the parish. It is a restored 18th-century obelisk set up on an earlier stump, traditionally described as a Roman milestone, possibly marking an extension of the Roman road from Dunmow to Chigwell into London.[2] Two of the obelisk inscriptions are still just legible, others not:”To Epping XI Miles through Woodford, Loughton””To Ongar XV Miles through Woodford Bridge, Chigwell, Abridge”Other Roman archaeological features have been found in the Leyton area, including “a Roman cemetery south of Blind Lane, and massive foundations of some Roman building, with quantities of Roman brick… discovered in the grounds of Leyton Grange.”
