A great short video about the important restoration work @TudorHouseWorcs of the 16th century ceiling with decoration and conservation expert @peterjohnhare
@InsallArch Well done @insallarch. This has clearly been a challenging project in so many ways, but it is so important that our cultural heritage is retained and when needed recreated and fit for purpose for future generations.
The reinstatement of the William Morris room @V_and_A was one of my first projects. The Morris collection is a must for all budding decorators, artists, conservators & designers. A pen, a brush & a cut that created a movement that reshaped interior & textile design forever.
#Didyouknow during his career, William Morris produced over 50 wallpapers? Many of which feature in the V&A's extensive Morris collection. Learn more about his artistry: https://t.co/esbiKhF0g9
Following the successful outcome of the auction, there is now an air of cautious optimism echoing from the halls and across the gardens of Kinmel Hall. @nesfieldscrown has endured neglect beyond comprehension. Mark Twain wrote, โThe rumours of my death are greatly exaggeratedโ.
โCometh the hour, cometh the manโ. The custodianship of Kinmel Hall will likely change hands within this hour under a online gavel. Outliving all of us, the future purpose of this incredible building swings in the balance.
Thanks Toby Keel of @Countrylifemag and the friends of Kinmel @nesfieldscrown
The โWelsh Versaillesโ โ an 80,000 sq ft masterpiece with 122 rooms โย is going under the hammer for ยฃ750,000 https://t.co/iT37USpgTO
Thank you for highlighting our concern @Suzanne_RJ and @nesfieldscrown. We look forward to meeting and assisting the new owners in due course
'Disgraceful lack of maintenance' has led to decay of Kinmel Hall say experts days before auction https://t.co/XAXEHPMyl4
We are witnessing an enormous architectural crime in 2021. As the interiors of @WaddesdonManor continue to reflect its palatial charm and welcome guests into its sumptuous interior, the ornamentation of Kinmel Hall falls to the floor in ruins as the roof and walls give way.
