The House of St Barnabas is a Grade One listed Georgian building with one of the finest Rococo plasterwork interiors in London. Soho Square was developed in 1679, but the house was substantially rebuilt in 1746. The rococo decorative scheme dates from 1754.
It currently operates as a private members club that generates revenue for its charitable projects.
The house is currently being monitored by Crossrail for subsidence and cracks as the tunnelling is taking place nearby.

The plasterwork friezes at Hardwick Old Hall are over 400 years old. Because it’s now a ruin, they’ve been exposed to the elements and therefore English Heritage have undertaken conservation work. I visited before this was done.
Hardwick Old Hall was built in place of her father’s manor house between 1587 - 1596 by Bess of Hardwick, after her 4th marriage had failed.
In 1590 she started to build the “new” hall, using architect, Robert Smythson. She ran the two houses side by side. She died in 1608. Her heirs partly dismantled the Old Hall in the 1750s and then it became a ruin.
In 1959 English Heritage took over the Old Hall and the National Trust, the new hall.
Used to be a bank, now a pub - the plasterwork on the ceiling is original. If you look carefully, I think one of the clerks has fallen asleep in the corner ....
Part of a plasterwork frieze (probably sixteenth or seventeenth-century) running all the way round the room, showing various hunting scenes in which almost every imaginable type of creature is about to meet a violent end.

In 1881 Lanhydrock House suffered from a major fire. The house was rebuilt with the latest in Victorian comforts. The wing in which the Long Gallery is situated survived the fire. This plasterwork dates from just before the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642.
This is a detail from the ceiling. The ceiling is decorated with scenes from the Old Testament together with animals, birds and plants. According to the Guidebook they can be divided into the following Old Testament subjects: - Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, Abraham and Isaac, and The Life of Jacob.
The most impressing element of the hall is the beautiful and perfect dome of mocarabes. Its lighting was carefully considered and it receives the light from lateral little windows. The dome is therefore a beautiful and exquisitely rich flower.
Chetham’s Library in Manchester was founded in 1653 and is the oldest public library in the English-speaking world. It is an independent charity and the entire collection at Chetham’s Library has been designated as one of national and international importance. You can visit the library on a guided tour, which can be booked through their website. You can sit in the seat where Marx and Engels did their research which led to the Communist Manifesto. You can see the books, in chains, and hear them screaming to be let out. A real piece of history. It is also possible to join the library as a reader, and to peruse the collection.
The plaster barrel vaulted ceiling in the Long Gallery was completed just before the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642, probably
by a Devonshire family of plasterers, the Abbots of Frithelstock near Bideford.
It has 24 panels showing scenes from the Old Testament separated by a pattern of smaller panels showing birds, beasts and heraldic symbols
Adam and Eve with the apple of the tree of knowledge and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

The interior of the Main Hall dome at Monserrate palace, decorated with plasterwork in a Moorish design
Lanhydrock is the perfect country house and estate, with the feel of a wealthy but unpretentious family home. Follow in the footsteps of generations of the Robartes family, walking in the 17th-century Long Gallery among the rare book collection under the remarkable plasterwork ceiling. After a devastating fire in 1881 the house was refurbished in the high-Victorian style, with the latest mod cons. Boasting the best in country-house design and planning, the kitchens, nurseries and servants' quarters offer a thrilling glimpse into life 'below stairs', while the spacious dining room and bedrooms are truly and deeply elegant
