The Flemish painter Peter Rubens was invited to England with the offer of a knighthood and the Banqueting House ceiling was then painted in 1635.
This is the worlds only example of Rubens ceiling painting that remains in-situ.
A patterned ceiling in the Menara gardens, Marrakech. I'm a huge fan of Moroccan artwork and particularly the grandiose ceiling/arch decoration. This was a particular favourite of mine.
St Nicholas's Parish Church in Nuneaton provides the sort of stately and attractive landmark architecture this town sorely needs, though it is sadly somewhat marginalised by the current road layout, which has left it separated from the town centre by part of the ring road.
Most of the present building dates from the fifteenth century, and is a grand example of a prosperous looking town church, with aisles to nave and chancel and an elegant nave clerestorey (inside spanned by the original gorgeous panelled ceiling).
The interior is elegant, attractive and very light, owing to whitewashed walls and a lack of stained glass (all the Victorian glass was destroyed by wartime bombing, except for one in the south chapel).
As in common with most churches in this part of Warwickshire, the church is generally kept locked outside of services.

Red Elm timber acoustic panelling was one of many enhancements funded by Donors to the construction of Yesodey Hatorah School. The massive laminated spruce timber roof beams were manufactured in Lithuainia, and are supported invisibly on external columns. A satinised perforated metal ceiling helps the acoustics and assists the diffuse daylight reach into the heart of this impressive 500 square metre space. The hall roof overhangs and vertical blinds guard against direct glare from sunlight.

Longwood Gardens historic arboretum - The Children's Garden ( this area was only 4 1/2 feet high. We had to hunch over to get through there. It's all about the kids!
Tucked down a narrow little alley was a tiny little Amernian church that was open. Would have never guess what was inside from the outside. Buildings are crammed one on top of the other so you don't usually get a sense of what is inside from the outside.
The earliest mosaics of Baptistery of St. John (Battistero di San Giovanni), works of art of many unknown Venetian craftsmen (including probably Cimabue), date from 1225.

One of my favorite things is going through lightroom and looking at my before/after shots. I'm really happy with the processing on this one.
Paisley Abbey (St. Mirin, St. Milburga, St. Mary, St. James), 2 July 2015. Founded 1163 by Walter Fitzalan, High Steward of Scotland. It became and abbey in 1245. It was burnt down by an English army in 1307 but rebuilt in the following years. In 1498 the abbey again suffered a fire and in 1553 the tower collapsed, largely destroying the quire and north transept. The nave was then walled-off and used as the parish church whilst the choir was used as a graveyard! In 1858-62 the north porch was formed in the ruined transept which was fully restored in 1890-1907, following which the tower and choir were rebuilt/restored and a new ceiling fitted to the nave. Pictured is the 15th Century sexpartite vault of the St. Mirin chapel showing the rather curious extra rib (lower left) that was needed for some reason.
