Description: | The room is lined with oak panelling. The small square panels have a decorative frieze around the top and there are two finely fluted pilasters beside the fireplace. At some point the panelling was painted a pale green, perhaps in the eighteenth century. The dark colour we see today is a Victorian varnish.Behind the panelling the original medieval wall structure is still in existence. To the left of the main door is a second door which when opened reveals the lathe and plaster wall. You can see clearly, the structure of a timber-framed building and how the panels are built up in four stages.Stage One. Oak laths are split from blocks and driven into place between the upright timbers.Stage Two. Lime ash roughing is applied to the laths as a 1st course.Stage Three. Lime ash is again applied as a second course with a slightly smoother finish.Stage Four. As a final coating neat gypsum is applied to make a smooth finish. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
