Guest agnoo Posted August 27, 2006 Share #1 Â Posted August 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the Dining Room you can see the fourteenth century work in its original form, with its series of vaulted connecting passage-ways. The oak panelling is known as double-linenfold and dates from the sixteenth century. The chairs are of the Regency period.

dotandcom Posted August 27, 2006 Share #2 Â Posted August 27, 2006 Ron, I assume that this is with the CV Heliar lens since so far as I know Leica doesn't make a 15mm M lens? It gives a brooding, slightly threatening air to what I remember as a rather charming room. Â I don't want to hijack your thread, but friends on the forum might be interested to know that over Ron's right shoulder as he took this shot there was a carving in the panelling depicting the house before 16th-century alterations. To the left are (damaged) sheep, whose wool provided the wherewithal. It's good to see them given their due, and a nice change from the more usual portrait of the posturing owner: 'I praise God and ever shall, It is the sheep hath paid for all'. Â All the best, Â Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted August 27, 2006 Share #3 Â Posted August 27, 2006 Ron, Â a wonderfully rich and brooding shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted August 27, 2006 Share #4 Â Posted August 27, 2006 Ron, Â Nice work considering how dark it was in there. Can't imagine why the family now use it as a dining room except for the fact that this room can possibly be kept warm in winter! At least it was cool in there on the day while it was still uncomfortably warm outside. Â Chris, Â Aren't you impressed at how well Ron was listening to your friend?
