Probably C17th, instead of standing proud, this plasterwork is inverted almost like the reverse of the mold. National Trust property taken in Yorkshire in 2014
This is the ornate ceiling of the Octagon Room at Orleans House. The reason I have not been posting very riveting images and have taken some time to post these at all, is that is that I have been working hard on the organisation and hanging of an exhibition for artsrichmond with photographs submitted from people across the Borough.
I spent the morning putting up the display boards and hanging the prints prior to the Private View later in the day which went really well.
You can really see the difference between the marble panels at the bottom and the plasterwork above.

A particularly fine example of a medieval brick castle, it later fell into decay, but was meticulously restored in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the conservation techniques now accepted as standard were evolved here.

South Bank Ramblers circular walk from Osterley.
Osterley, now owned by the National Trust, is one of the last surviving country estates in London. Osterley was created in the late 18th century by architect and designer Robert Adam for the Childe family to entertain and impress their friends and clients.
Robert Child's only daughter, Sarah Anne Child, married John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland in 1782. When Child died two months later, his will placed his vast holdings, including Osterley, in trust for his eldest granddaughter, Lady Sarah Sophia Fane, who was born in 1785. She married George Child-Villiers, 5th Earl of Jersey, and thus Osterley passed into the Jersey family.
