Another ice house: Croome Court




This ice house turned out to be two thirds underground. It must have contained a huge mass of ice if filled. This would mean that even more energy would be needed to melt it making it last longer into the summer. I inspected the double wall construction. It wasn't clear what was in the gap - some sort of mortar. Maybe it is an air gap further round away from the door.
