Belton House, Lincolnshire, 1685-88.
The National Trust.
The Saloon.
Side Table, c1880.
One of a pair of giltwood and marble side tables, English, probably constructed late 19th century incorporating some earlier mid 18th century elements.
Each with a grey marble rectangular top above a Vitruvian scroll frieze and held by a central eagle with wings spread and flanked by double S scroll tapering brackets. The eagle standing on a spreading plinth with applied anthemion and leaf scroll decoration.
The Borghese Gladiator.
Bronze on black marble base.
French or Italian, late 18th or 19th century.
A bronze statuette of a warrior in combat, mounted on a rectangular black marble base. After The Borghese Gladiator, a Hellenistic sculpture formerly in the Borghese collection and later acquired for The Louvre. The figure lunges forward, with his left arm thrust in the air, raising a round shield embossed with the head of Medusa. His right arm, sword in hand, thrusts backwards. The blade of the sword is missing but its handle is rendered in the shape of an eagle’s head. The head, torso, arms and legs have been sleeve joined.
Copies of The Borghese Gladiator proliferated within twenty years of the Ephesus marble being discovered at Nettuno in 1611. Charles I acquired a mould of it and commissioned Hubert le Seur to cast a bronze in 1629-30. Placed in the Privy Garden at St James’ Palace, le Seur’s bronze raised the profile of the sculpture and soon after casts began to appear in country houses across the country. A plaster cast was also sent by Velázquez to Philip IV of Spain.

Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire, 1758-65.
The National Trust.
By Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), James Paine (1717-1789) & Robert Adam (1728-1792).
Interiors complete by the 1780s.

Grade l listed.
Caesars' Hall.
The Doric style columns support the upper floor – the 16 thicker ones are the original supporting columns with the 12 thinner columns added in the 19th Century (these have cast iron cores).
This lower entrance hall was often used for estate staff parties, local people and tradesmen, as well as being the normal entrance for the family to get to their domestic wing of the property.
Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Treasurer's House, Minster Yard, York, c14-c18.
The National Trust.
Restored 1898-1900 by Temple Moore for Frank Green of Wakefield.
Side Cabinet - one of a pair.
Ebony, tortoiseshell, brass, gilt bronze.
France, c1860.
One of a pair of ebony, brass inlaid tortoiseshell and gilt brass mounted 'Boulle' side cabinets. Late 17th / early 18th century style, inlaid with première and contra partie 'Boulle' work, each cabinet with a pair of panelled cupboard doors, raised on a shaped plinth and turned feet, with arabesque scroll work and cast mounts.
This house was the residence of the treasurers of York Minster from 1100 until the office was abolished by Henry VIII. It belonged to 3 post-Reformation Archbishops of York, the last of whom, Thomas Young, rebuilt it. Further alterations were made in the early 17th century; the building fell into decline during the 19th century by which time Young’s mansion had been split into at least five separate properties. The present garden front with its classical central entrance bay dates from c.1630. It now contains the furniture collection of the wealthy industrialist and aesthete Frank Green, who restored and remodelled the building after acquiring it in 1897. Inside, Green’s architect, Temple Moore, created a huge hall out of the 2-storey central block with a half-timbered gallery supported by classical columns. There is an early 18th-century staircase that has been attributed to the joiner-architect William Thornton, who worked at Beningbrough.
The Workhouse, Upton Road, Southwell, Nottinghamshire, 1824.
Built as Thurgarton Hundred Incorporated Workhouse in 1824, becoming Southwell Union Workhouse in 1836.
Grade ll* listed.
Firbeck Infirmary.
Exhibition - Florence Nightingale Comes Home.
Health at Home.
The Crimean War exposed Nightingale to the awful suffering caused by contagious diseases and inattention to hygiene. The widely accepted theory of anti-contagionism explained the cause of disease in terms of the filth and odours found in dirty hospitals and homes.
This Workhouse survives as the least altered example of its kind in existence today. Built in 1824, it served as one of many prototypes for the New Poor Law of 1834 that saw thousands of workhouses built across the country. The moving spirit behind the project was Revd. J.T. Becher (1769-1848), a noted social reformer. He set out his ideas and strategy to manage the poor in a pamphlet called the Anti-Pauper System. Becher's system was an economic measure (to reduce tax) and a moral crusade (to teach the poor to ask for help only as a last resort.) The help offered was accommodation in the dreaded workhouse, where discipline was exacting, living standards basic and supervision constant. Paupers were divided into men, women, children, vagrants and the sick. Visitors can explore the segregated work yards, dayrooms, dormitories, Master's quarters and cellars and learn about life in The Workhouse.
The Southwell Workhouse site is roughly square in design, with a three-storey accommodation block cutting through the centre and courtyards either side, and the whole enclosed within walls. One half of the building was used by women, the other by men. The central core of the building housed the staff and children, ensuring that all classes of inmate were kept separate.

For our most recent uni project on physiognomy (basically portrait really)
I ended up approaching strangers on the street I felt looked untrustworthy and may normally avoid. I asked them if I could take a photo and took 1 shot of each.
I wanted to see if my assumption was changed in any way and similarities between each person.
