The Hall Interior
Interiors of great houses are not really my area of interest, but I paid to enter and wander around while I was there. Some of those who take time to look at my posts may see something of interest to them. There was too great a collection of rooms for me to detail them all but I include photographs of some of the rooms through which I passed or peeped into.
There was, however, one item in the house that interested me considerably - the Lyme Caxton Missal. William Caxton, in 1476, effectively began the first industrial revolution in the British Isles by introducing from Europe the first printing press. It used movable type allowing rapid, reliable, reproduction of the printed word, and replaced laborious hand copying of texts. Such technology struck fear into the hearts of popes, princes and tyrants by allowing the education of ordinary people – bringing learning and knowledge and bypassing church and state censorship. The basic technology remained in use in many English printing and newspaper companies until, in the 1970s , it was replaced by computerised typesetting. If Caxton were to return today, provided that he could produce a trades union card, he would still probably be totally at home working with compositors in some small print houses.
The Lyme copy of the missal was published by Caxton in 1487 and printed for him in Paris. It has been in the North West of England since at least 1508. To me, that book represents real history - of world significance – not the history of mere fashions in furnishings and furniture.
The interior of café Piritta. As can be seen, the middle part of the cafe was in the open.

The interior of Worcestershire Cathedral I was upset that the light never shined through the stained glass
EDIFICIO DE LAS ESCUELAS AGUIRRE
Ubicadas en el número 62 de la calle Alcalá, las Escuelas Aguirre surgieron como iniciativa del filántropo don Lucas Aguirre y Juárez, con cuyo legado fueron creadas en 1886. Es un bello edificio de estilo neomudéjar diseñado por Emilio Rodríguez Ayuso, coautor también de la antigua plaza de toros. El edificio fue levantado en 1884 y tres años más tarde el mismo arquitecto se encargó de realizar la verja y el jardín.
En marzo de 2008, el Ayuntamiento de Madrid, tras un excelente trabajo de remodelación moderna de sus espacios interiores, cedió a Casa Árabe el edificio, que es desde entonces la sede de la institución en Madrid
