Each piece of steelwork was lifted high above the site and carefully lowered into place on the Conservatory roof.
More images of the work:

| The steelwork is loaded carefully onto the crane |
 |
| Lifted high over the site |
 |
| The first piece is lowered towards the conservatory |
 |
| Guiding it down gently... |
 |
| ...and it slots into place. |
 |
| High above the Walled Garden. |
 |
| Returning for more... |
 |
| Reaching far across the site. |
 |
| Further pieces are lifted... |
 |
| ...lowered |
 |
| guided... |
 |
| ...and made ready to be added to the Conservatory roof. |
The restoration work is being led by Caroe Architects, with project management from Buro Four, and building contractors William Birch & Sons Ltd. The superstructure of the conservatory has been minutely researched and removed to a warehouse for restoration. This will be returned to site in autumn 2014
