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.

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. The chandeliers are the work of Diego Giacometti who created them specifically for the Picasso museum.

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.

The inscription on this plasterwork at Rushton Hall, 'Tres Testimonium Dant' ('There are three that give witness') is from St John's Gospel ('And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.' 1 John 5:7-8). This motto was frequently cited by Sir Thomas Tresham, who may have imagined that he had a special relationship with the Holy Trinity on account of the 'Tres' part of his name. His wife would refer to him as 'Good Tres' in his letters. The inscription, along with a complex array of trinitarian symobolism, occurs in the architecture of Tresham's Triangular Lodge, aslo at Rushton.
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.

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.

Decorative plasterwork
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.

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!
