As it should be, without a National Guard as far as the eye can see.

Striking vaulted #SundayCeiling of 12th C @carlislecathedral.bsky.social.

Replaced c.1400 after devastating fire in 1292.
Decorative scheme follows medieval original w detailed design and colour (angels and stars) the work of top artist Owen Jones in restoration of 1853-6.
Looking up at barrel vaulted ceiling between clerestory levels of Carlisle Cathedral, towards stained glass window at east. The ceiling consists of side to side bands of 8 square panels with ten-pointed stars in the centre of each that are surrounded by 16 six-pointed stars on an intense blue background the squares are all banded in light blue-green strips bearing white carved dentation. At intersections of squares are more stars, mostly in gold, some with red centres. The image shows two brackets with angels near the ceiling, sprung from columns on the fenestrated walls of the topmost two levels of the church.

View up at a fancy ceiling, with white plaster decorations and cornices on a grey background. There's striped wallpaper, and a big multi-paned window in the wall ahead. Framing the pic on three sides is a curved banister rail and the edge of a staircase.

Bishop Audley's Chantry Chapel in Salisbury Cathedral with it's glorious fan vaulted #SundayCeiling was built in 1524.

Sadly the original brightly coloured decorations and small statues didn't survive the 1540s Reformation, but it's pretty brilliant as it is.
The ceiling of a small chapel is shown: it has elaborate fan vaulting set on a background of bright light sky blue, with gold decorative work around where all the semi-circular or quarter-circular tops of the vaults meet the ceiling. Bosses with gold and red are fitted in the spaces left where four circles almost touch. The unglazed window arches at the left side have floral shaped tracery at the tops, and there is further elaborate stonework over the end where a shrine would have been fitted beneath.

#SundayCeiling
Post Henry VIII dissolution, London's medieval Charterhouse went to #Tudor aristos.
In its Great Chamber, recently restored, Elizabeth I met w Privy Council before her coronation and James I created 130 knights.
L: splendour of full room
R: glazed niche w added #gold bling on ceiling
View along long axis of large rectangular hall, originally created 1540s, with wooden floor, deep green walls hung with many paintings, a fireplace on the left, a door in far left corner, a glazed leaded window at the far end, a glazed niche in the far right corner and a grand piano, looking quite small due to the size of the hall. The plasterwork ceiling has elaborate interlaced patterns, mainly white with some coloured panels, mostly with arms, or armorial symbols. The view is mainly focused on the ceiling, similar to the main hall but with the interwoven patterns gilded with brightly shining gold leaf. This is in the smaller rectangular niche off the corner of the main hall, with leaded glazed windows, some paintings visible hanging on the walls. One square ceiling panel with a multi-coloured round coat of arms of Thomas Howard can be seen just beyond the centre, as can 4 rectangular panels, each with a ?lion coloured red. The decorative plasterwork ceiling was installed by Thomas Howard, the fourth Duke of Norfolk in 1570. The coat of arms is surrounded by emblems of thistles and roses, perhaps revealing his secret admiration for Mary Queen of Scots.
