A brief visit to nearby Saffron Waldon, reminded me that I must return on a warm sunny day to catch more of this lovely little town.
Hellbrunn Palace, built by Santino Solari under Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus from 1612-1615 is, with its spacious park, trick fountains and mechanical theatre, one of the most beautiful examples of manneristic architecture north of the Alps and unique in Europe.

The Musée Picasso is housed the Hôtel Salé, rue de Thorigny, in the Marais district of Paris, a beautiful 17th century building that was once home to Pierre Aubert. The architect was Jean Boullier from Bourges.

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.
The fireplace depicts Saul throwing the javelin at David.
Chastleton House, Chastleton near Moreton-in-Marsh, Oxfordshire
Long Gallery
It runs the entire 22 metre length of the North Front and is the longest surviving barrel vaulted ceiling in England. Originally designed for a display of ancestral portraits and for exercise when the weather was bad.
The panelling from the room's north-east corner was taken by Irene Whitmore-Jones in 18896 when she let the house.
The bruising under the plasterwork is showing just at the 'start' of my fingers.
I wonder what's hidden beneath all the coverings..!

September 2015.
Various visits to properties on London Open House weekend.
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.
King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, 1676-90.
Grade l listed.
Plasterwork Ceiling, c1681 - detail.
Plasterwork of the highest quality by craftsmen who had worked for Sir Christopher Wren.
This eastern half of the nave is by John Wetherell, c1681.
Shallow domes and roundels are enriched with husk ornament, festoons of fruit, cherubs' heads and palms.
The church was originally built as a chapel to serve the people gathering at Tunbridge Wells to drink the water, and as such was one of the first permanent buildings constructed on the site. Thomas Neale, who began the commercial development of the town was also involved in the construction of the church. As the town grew up around it, the church was extended to cope with the growing numbers of town dwellers and spa visitors. It became a parish church in 1889.
Detail of plasterwork above a door in Kings Heath, Birmingham. There are thousands of these - all different - above doors in the Birmingham 'Burbs.
Named after places, people, flowers, trees, and all sorts. Nice pieces of Victorian craftsmanship. Most of them in this road were restored and painted.
I would call this a portico, but I am sure there is a specialised architectural term for this feature.

Cusworth Hall, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 1740.
By George Platt (1700-1743).
For William Wrightson (1676-1760).
Grade l listed.
Dining Room Plasterwork, 1907.
This large dining room was added in 1907 by Lady Isabella Battie-Wrightson (1853-1917). She was the daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Exeter and the wife of William Henry Battie-Wrightson (1855-1903).
Opened to the general public as the 'Museum of South Yorkshire Life' in 1967, Cusworth Hall Museum came under the authority of Doncaster Metroplitan Borough Council in 1974 following a restructure of local government. The house, in the Palladian style, was designed by local architect George Platt. At a later date two new wings designed by James Paine were added. The house is set in extensive parkland which was originally laid out to the designs of Richard Woods. The displays in the house are themed, using objects, text panels and paintings to tell the story of life in Doncaster from the 18th century to the present day. Themes covered by the displays include Sport, Childhood and Religion. Other features of the house include the Italianate chapel, where recent refurbishment as revealed stunning ceiling paintings, and below stairs, the Great Kitchen, Bake House and Laundry.
Ive lived in ny my whole life and have never actually gone into the nypl, only walked past it a hundred times. But for a class project i was forced to go in and boy was i thankful! It's beautiful and free-what could be better than that?
The classical church at Gunton, tucked away in the grounds of the private Gunton Hall, but accessible to visitors and cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.
The church was commissioned in 1767 from the great architect Robert Adam (the only church he ever designed) to replace a previously demolished medieval building. The classical temple facade and portico along with the clean simplicity of the interior (which would look more at home in a City of London church) are a real surprise in this very rural Norfolk setting.
The church is usually kept open and welcoming for visitors, though requires access via otherwise very private looking lanes in the grounds of neighbouring Gunton Hall.

Remaining plasterwork and the Gog and Magog overmantle. In the book Bess of Hardwick and Her Circle by Mrs Rawlinson published in c.1912 this room is shown as still being floored and roofed.
Bramall Hall is a superb example of a Tudor Manor House with origins dating back to the Middle Ages.
The Hall, one of the most beautiful treasures of England, is of great national importance. The magnificent 16th Century wall paintings, striking Elizabethan plaster ceiling, the Victorian Kitchens and Servants’ Quarters give this Hall its unique charm.
The Hall offers unique insights into the families and servants who lived and worked here. It stands in about 60 acres of parkland designed in the Victorian Romantic style, offering woodland walks with intriguing glimpses of the Hall itself and of the brooks and lakes.
