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!

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.

Northampton U3A's September outing.
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.

The floor is paved with colored tiles, while the walls are covered 5 ft. (1.5 m) up from the ground with blue and yellow tiles with a border above and below.
The Alhambra tiles are remarkable in that they contain nearly all, if not all, of the seventeen mathematically possible wallpaper groups. This is a unique accomplishment in world architecture. M. C. Escher's visit in 1922 and study of the Moorish use of symmetries in the Alhambra tiles inspired his subsequent work on tessellation, which he called "regular divisions of the plane".
