Date:1824

Description:A watercolour painting of the interior of Great Hall at Blithfield Hall, in Gothic style, with a fan tracery ceiling. The Gothic plaster-work was carried out by Francis Bernasconi in 1822, but the original 16th century timber-framing remains above the ceiling. Blithfield Hall, the home of the Bagot family since 1367, is a medieval house with later additions. The house was re-modelled in a Tudor castellated style in 1820-1824; the architect was possibly John Buckler.

Artist: John Buckler (1770-1851)
