Almost in Nottinghamshire is All Saints church, Steetley. It's a mid C12th building with minor alterations. It has a Norman arch around the porch. This was restored in the 1880s when the latticework pediment above was added. I presume that some of the plasterwork around the roofline was also replaced or redone as it looks like a mixture of old and new. Sadly it wasn't open to view inside.

Floral plasterwork on boxes in Auditorium. Theatro Municipal (1909 AD, Francisco de Oliveira Passos architect), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Copyright 2017, James A. Glazier I really wish I had brought a better camera so I could have taken some appropriate photos of this wild building rather than these snapshots

Part of the 1680s ceiling, beautifully modelled.

I love the reliefs in this ceiling which contrast with dark dome. Sublime.

I adore sunshine and I love it when it creates shadow patterns on whitewashed plasterwork.

Detail of interior - it's all plasterwork. Amazing! A London Open House gem.

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.

Distinctive decorated plasterwork.

Never really noticed the plasterwork, or, the faces, which are just below the sign, before. 1899 is the date shown on the plasterwork. Not sure what the heads are supposed to be!

Renaissance plasterwork (looks like 16th century) in a small but fantastic patio of Toledo, Callejón de Cepeda 5

Plasterwork and stone believed to be from the collapsed central tower that was part of the Norman church.

Virtually nothing of the house's interior survives in situ, apart from some fragments of plasterwork in imitation of rusticated stonework on the main stairs. The staircase itself apparently found a new home in a local inn after the dismantling of the house.

Another interesting light fitting. I liked the interior of the house apart from the use of deliberately rough plasterwork.

Hardwick Hall was built by 'Bess of Hardwick', who, as history recalls her, rose from humble origins to become on of the most powerful people in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She married four times, each time gaining more wealth and her fourth husband was the Earl of Shrewsbury, one of the richest and most powerful of the English nobles of the time. After his death, in 1590, she built Hardwick Hall. It stands on top of a hill, and can be seen for miles around. It is particularly notable for the number of windows, glass was very expensive at this time, and was known for having 'more glass than wall'. In order to obtain perfect symmetry some of the 'windows' are in fact false, but still contain glass. Her initials, ES, can be seen everywhere in the building.The architect is believed to have been Robert Smythson.

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
