St Margaret of Scotland, Buxted 2

A large, handsome church interior: The plastered ceiling of the chancel- which dates to around 1600- is unusual- and rather lovely.

I'd have guessed early 17th century for the plasterwork.

I'd imagine those are carvings not mouldings

A friend of ours lives in a cottage built in 1599 which has similar carved plaster work.

I'd never thought about how they did plasterwork in the 17th century. Wouldn't moulding make more sense for a repetitive pattern like this?

Wow. Just gorgeous!

That is a fascinating ceiling!

The sort of plasterwork you're more likely to see in a country house than a church.
