    Canon Hall was famous for growing its own pineapples, in which year was the first one grown in it hot houses?

    I'm not sure sorry, Only date I can find is the date a cutting was brought back which was in 1802
    Thanks to all posters
  • It might be 1760.

    I can't post links but found the following reference in a Yorkshire Gardeners Trust PDF document:
    I am therefore delighted that this year’s AGM will be held at Cannon Hall, near Barnsley, a much loved local park rich in garden history which includes a fine Pinery built in the 1760’s for the then owner John Spencer to grow pineapples.
