UK - Oxford - Bodleian Library - The Divinity School ceiling 01_DSC3348
Sticking with ceilings, here's the spectacular vaulting of the Bodleian Library Divinity School. Visited during the Oxford Preservation Trust 'Open Doors' weekend recently.
From Wikipedia : "The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology, which is housed at the Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford.
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses, designed by William Orchard in the 1480s."
