Palatial Plasterwork

Photograph of an ornate plaster ceiling at Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire created by F and T Gunby in 1605. The design is rich in embellishment and features swirls and nature-inspired elements. This was highly fashionable at the time. The appointment of Yorkshire craftsmen at a property in the depths of Lancashire may not have been quite so fashionable! Still raised eyebrows when the guide mentioned it! For those not au fait with the Wars of the Roses in English history, Lancashire and Yorkshire have been rivals for centuries, often met on the battlefield, and both have had powerful monarchs on the throne. The houses were united through the marriage of King Henry VII (House of Lancaster) and Princess Elizabeth of York...parents to the increasingly unpleasant husband of six impressive queens (Henry VIII).

Sometimes a 'clever' angle turns into a nightmare. A faceless, hairless head is intimidating enough but bearing down on you as you're crouched down...nope! Won't do this again! The aim was to capture the majesty of the one hundred year old lace collar. Image shows a faceless and hairless mannequin in a deep red cloak with an old exquisite starched lace collar, looking down towards the camera. Behind the head is a plaster ceiling and protective blinds to help preserved the textile collection. Taken at Gawthorpe Hall in the depths of Lancashire which houses the amazing Shuttleworth textile collection.

#ThursdayThrowback & #InsectThursday on my 1st visit to #GawthorpeHall on 30th July, stunning building, really interesting to see the outline of original gardens in the heatwave, plus my favourite peacock #butterflies enjoying the current garden! @thephotohour.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk
Fantastic clocks, stunning building, just look at the fancy plaster ceiling in the long gallery, and peacock butterflies too

Close up of an intricate, one hundred year old lace collar. To protect the textile collection on display, items are housed in rooms with special blinds over the C17th windows. In the background you can see the outline of the leaded glass window.

Collage of two photographs placed side by side to show the differing lives of the uber-wealthy and domestic servants. On the left is a view of the landing to Queen Victoria's private apartments at her summer residence, Osborne House. There are two beautifully decorated arches in creams, blues and golds, with layers of ornate coving above. A long red carpet lines the floor with a dark balustrade to the right protecting from any falls. Marble busts on tall plinths line the left wall. The image on the right is so simple in comparison. Taken at the stunning, Elizabethan marvel of Gawthorpe Hall in the depths of Lancashire, it shows the worn stone, spiral steps leading down to the servants kitchens. Took this photograph leaning over from the top so it's a view from overhead. The light is minimal, from a window out of view.

Hall of Archways

Photograph looking through to the hallway from the entrance of Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire. Monochrome filter used. Beautiful carved decorative stone archways lead the eye through to a second stone archway. Between the two is a glimpse of a plaster ceiling and wood panelling off which the sunlight bounces. A dark bust of a man's head sits on the arched window to the right of the doorway. At the very back of the image is a window through which daylight streams. Gawthorpe Hall is a fantastic day out, particularly if you love a fancy plaster ceiling or have a love of textiles. The grounds are beautiful too!

Looking up at entrance to Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire. Blue sky overhead. Pillars either side of the large curved doorway with three levels of large windows above (a sign of wealth...so much glass). Redesigned in 1850s by Sir Charles Barry (of Houses of Parliament fame) in collab with Pugin and the J.G.Grace interior decorators (from Yorkshire...commissioned in Lancashire gasp!). Well worth a visit. Interiors and the textile collection are something else!

In the background you can see the outline of the leaded glass window. Gawthorpe Hall, run by the National Trust, houses the Kay-Shuttleworth textile collection. Absolutely well worth a visit, from the textiles to breathtaking plaster ceilings.
