GROUND FLOOR, FRONT ROOM

Area A

Samples were taken from the dado panelling and rail and the skirting.

Dado Rail

The sample from the dado rail showed a cream decoration on a warm white undercoat immediately above the surface of the wood, followed by four more light cream decorations and a darker cream or light buff decoration. Above this layer is the current grained decoration, which appears in cross-section as a layer of warm white paint coated with a thick dark brown varnish-type layer.

Dado Panelling

The sample from the panel frame begins with a light cream decoration on a warm white undercoat, followed by three more light cream decorations before a pale blue-green layer on a white undercoat. Two more light cream layers follow before the topmost grained decoration seen on all the other samples from this area, a white layer coated with a thick layer of dark brown.

The panel moulding shows a greater number of decorations than the panel frame, beginning with red primer traces on the surface of the wood, followed by four light cream decorations, (the second of these on a warm white undercoat), three darker cream / light buff layers, and three warm white decorations, before a layer of pale blue paint on a white undercoat. Two more cream layers follow, before a second decoration of pale blue on a white undercoat, another three light cream layers and the current graining.

The panel bed also shows a greater number of decorations than the panel frame, but does not include the pale blue or blue-green seen in the samples from both the panel beds and the panel mouldings, and only shows decorations in varying shades of cream and warm white. On the surface of the wood are traces of red primer, followed by a decoration in warm white, two layers of dark cream paint and another warm white layer before a dark cream layer on a warm white undercoat. Two more dark creams follow, before a series of eleven light cream paint layers and the final grained decoration.

Skirting

GROUND FLOOR, BACK ROOM

Area B

Samples were taken from the dado panelling and the skirting.

Dado Panelling

The dado panel frame in this area of the room showed traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by 12 decorations in warm white and light cream paints, with the fourth, seventh, eight and ninth of these sitting on undercoat layers. A pale blue-green layer comes next, followed by two more light cream coloured layers and a pale brown decoration. The sequence continues with another light cream, a light cream paint on a warm white undercoat, and a second pale brown layer which appears to sit immediately below the dark brown varnish-type layer which forms the grained decoration. It seems that no white layer is present in this area of the graining.

Samples from the dado panel moulding were rather fragmentary, with none of the samples taken showing a complete sequence of layers. The sequence of paint layers on the first of the two most complete samples begins with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by a layer of warm white paint, then three more decorations in warm white and cream paints, the last one of these sitting on an undercoat layer. A grained decoation follows, shown by a white layer with a brown varnish-type layer immediately above it, and after this are two decorations in light cream, each on a thick layer of white undercoat. Three warm white decorations are next, before a layer of pale blue paint on a white undercoat, then two more warm white layers and a decoration in golden brown. The section ends with two layers of light cream paint on warm white undercoat layers, and a thin layer of red-brown paint.

The second sample does not include any wood at its base, and begins with a layer of warm white paint, followed by a series of nine more light cream and warm white layers, with the fourth, eighth and ninth of these on undercoat layers. This area of the moulding shows two decorations of pale blue paint on white undercoat, as opposed to the single layer seen in the other sample, and this sample also shows a layer of pale pink paint on white undercoat which is not visible in the other sample. A series of four warm white and cream decorations sit above the pink decoration, before a layer of red-brown paint like that seen at the top of the other sample from the dado moulding, and finally a layer of pale brown paint with a dark brown layer above it which together form the current grained decoration of the room.

The sample from the dado panel bed shows traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by ten layers of warm white and light cream paints, with the ninth of these on a layer of undercoat, before the decoration of pale blue on white undercoat seen elsewhere on the panelling. This is covered by another four decorations in warm white and cream, the last of these on an undercoat, before a red-brown layer and the final grained decoration, made up of a pale brown layer coated with a darker brown layer.

Skirting

Two samples were taken from the skirting riser, only one of which included wood at its base. This sample begins with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by a decoration in warm white paint, and above this is a layer of red primer, which acts as an undercoat for a layer of dark red-brown paint. This is followed by a series of grained decorations, five or six in number, each decoration shown by a layer of white paint coated by a dark red-brown layer. Two light cream decorations lie above the grained decorations before a decoration in pale blue paint on white undercoat, and then another grained decoration. The cross-section ends with five decorations in warm white and cream before a red-brown decoration and the current graining layers - pale brown coated with a darker brown.

The second sample from the skirting riser did not include any wood at the base of the sample, but began with a white layer followed by a red-brown layer. Immediately above this was the same series of about six layers of graining which could be seen in the other sample from the skirting, then four warm white or cream layers before the graining is repeated, once. The cross-section ends with five decorations in warm white and cream, a red-brown layer, and the present graining at the top - a pale brown layer coated by a darker brown.

Area C

Samples were taken from the window shutters.

Window shutters

Only one of the two samples taken from the inner bed of the shutters inluded any wood at its base, but despite this, they both showed a similar sequence of layers, beginning with a thick layer of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by a series of dark decorations, firstly a dark brown, then one or two dark red-brown layers, a dark grey and another dark brown. The decoration then changes to a light colours, with a series of seven or eight decorations in warm white and light cream, before dark decoration takes over again with the current graining at the top of the sample, made up of a layer of pale brown paint and a darker brown layer above it.

The decorations on the outer shutter bed begin with a layer of white paint on the surface of the wood, followed by a thick layer of red primer, then a series of dark decorations likee those found on the inner bed. A dark brown decoration is followed by three dark red-brown layers before a dark grey layer and another decoration in dark brown. As is the case with the inner bed, the samples from the outer shutter bed also then display a change in the colours used, with a series of three light cream decorations, the last one on an undercoat layer. The outer shutter then shows some additional layers not present on the inner shuuter bed, with two decorations of pale blue paint, the first one of these on an undercoat layer of warm white paint. Three more warm white and light cream decorations are next, befor a darker cream decoration, which may form part of a grained decoration with the thin dark layer above it. Two more light cream decorations are next, a mid-red-brown layer, another light cream and the final grained decoration, formed of a pale brown and a darker brown layer.

GROUND FLOOR, HALLWAY

Area D

Samples were taken from the dado rail and the dado panelling.

Dado Rail

The first decoration above the wood is in a dark brown-black coloured paint, which is followed by a pale pink colour, before a white layer, a beige-brown layer and a dark green decoration. Next are a pale grey decoration on pale grey undercoat, a white layer and another pale grey, and the cross-section ends with a final pale grey decoration on a pale grey undercoat.

Dado Panelling

The dado panel frame shows an almost identical sequence to that of the dado rail, but with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood and a mid-buff coloured layer corresponding to the dark black-brown paint at the first level of decoration on the dado rail. Above this level, the sequence is almost the same, with a pale pink layer, a beige-brown layer and a dark green layer. Only at the level of the pale grey paints does the sequence alter from that seen on the dado rail, with just two layers of pale grey paint, both on undercoat layers, and without the white and pale grey layers that separate them on the dado rail.

The dado panel bed shows the same sequence of decorations as that seen on the dado panel frame. The surface of the wood shows traces of red primer, above which is a decoration in mid-buff coloured paint, followed by a pale pink layer, a beige-brown layer and a dark green decoration. The top two layers are both pale grey in colour and are painted onto a pale grey undercoat.

Area E

Samples were taken from the wall panelling, dado panelling and skirting.

Wall panelling

Two samples were taken from the panelling, one of which appeared to have been stripped at some time in the past and consequently showed only two paint layers, both light cream.

The second sample unfortunately did not include any wood at its base, but did show a greater number of paint layers, beginning with a white layer. This is followed by seven grained decorations, each made up of a light cream layer covered by a dark brown layer. The next decorations are in paler colours, with two layers of pale cream paint and a warm white paint on an undercoat layer. A brown layer and three more layers of cream paint follow this, before another grained decoration, a coarse brown-black paint and a golden-brown layer which may have been grained, as it has a thick brown layer above it. The cross-section ends with five light cream and warm white decorations, the last two of these sitting on a layer of pale grey undercoat.

Dado panelling

Samples were taken from both the panel frame and the panel bed. As was the case with the wall panelling, one of the fragments from the dado panel frame had been stripped at some time in the past and showed only traces of white paint. The second sample did not include any wood at its base, but did show a build-up of paint layers, beginning with a white decoration and a buff-coloured layer. A series of seven grained decorations comes next, each decoration being made up of a white layer with a brown layer above it, followed by a pale grey decoration, another layer of graining and a white layer. Next is a grey paint on a layer of grey undercoat, a dark green, and another grey layer, on grey undercoat, before a white decoration, a pale grey decoration, another white layer, another grey layer and finally a brown layer at the top of the cross-section.

The sample from the dado panel bed did not include any wood at its base, and the sequence of paint layers began with three grained decorations, each made up of a cream layer coated with a dark brown layer. This is followed by a series of six light cream decorations before the graining is again repeated, once. There then follows a pale beige layer and another layer of graining before a light cream decoration and three brown decorations: the first of these is a dark red-brown, then a dark black-brown and finally a mid-brown. The top decorative layers of the cross-section are pale grey, followed by dark green, white, grey and brown.

Skirting

Two samples were taken from the skirting riser, but both of these were quite inconclusive. The first of the two appeared to have been stripped, and showed only traces of white paint, and the second sample did not include any wood at the base, and the few paint layers present have become quite distorted. The sample shows a trace of white paint, a layer of coarse dark brown paint and two modern paint layers, the first grey and the second brown.

FIRST FLOOR, FRONT ROOM

Area F

Samples were taken from the wall panelling, the dado panelling and rail, the skirting and the cornice.

Wall Panelling

The wood at the base of the sample was lost, and so it is not posible to state with absolute certainty what the original decoration of the wall panelling was. Of the layers which survived sampling, the earliest was a very thick layer of light cream paint, which was followed by two beige coloured layers and a pale green decoration, which are also visible in the cross-sections of the other samples from this area. The next five layers are all light cream in colour, followed by two white decorations and a thick layer of a rich golden cream colour as the topmost layers.

Dado, Dado Rail and Skirting

A complete set of decorations was evident in the samples taken from the dado panelling above the skirting, beginning with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, and followed by a broken white layer. A series of 12 light cream decorations follows this, with five of these decorations being painted onto an undercoat. After the cream layers is a series of coloured decorations, beginning with the two deep beige and the pale green decorations seen in the wall panelling samples. These are succeeded by a slightly orange coloured beige layer, four mid-brown layers, and a pale grey layer. Another mid-brown layer, two pale blue layers, the first of these being on a white undercoat, and the rich golden cream coloured layer finish the cross-section.

Samples taken from the area of dado panelling which lies behind the high skirting board showed an almost identical pattern to the rest of the panelling, in terms of the early layers found, with red primer found on the wood, followed by a greyish-white layer and a series of 13 light cream layers, of which six had been painted onto undercoats. However, at this point, the build-up of paint layers ended. This would appear to be the result of the addition at this time of the high skirting, which was not originally part of the room. This hypothesis, that the skirting was a later addition to the room is supported by the sequence of layers found on the high skirting itself. Although the lower paint layers have become slightly distorted during sampling, it is clear that there is only one cream decoration on the surface of the wood. This is followed by the same sequence of colours found above the series of cream decorations on the dado panelling above the skirting, i.e. two deep beige layers, a pale green decoration, a slightly orange-coloured beige layer, four mid-browns, a pale grey layer, another mid-brown and two pale blue layers, the first of these on a white undercoat. Only in the last layers does the sequence differ, with the skirting having a layer of brown and a layer of red-buff, followed by another layer of brown with red-buff on top, while the dado panelling finishes its sequence with a single rich golden cream colour on top of the second pale blue layer.

Similarly, the dado rail samples showed only the second half of the paint sequence found on the dado panelling, beginning with the two beige layers, followed by pale green, four mid-browns, pale grey, another mid-brown, and two pale blues. Unlike the dado panelling, however, the dado rail displays two extra layers between the second pale blue decoration and the final golden layer. These are a brown layer and a red-buff layer, as found on the high skirting. The lack of early cream layers on the dado rail would indicate that it, like the skirting, was not part of the original design of the room, but was a later addition. However, the lack of any cream layers on the dado rail may also indicate that the dado and skirting are not quite contemporary, with the dado being added to the room one or two decorations later than the skirting.

Cornice

The sample from the top of the cornice began with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by five light cream decorations, the second and fourth of them including undercoat layers. A very thin pink layer separates these from a second series of light cream layers, this time showing seven separate decorations, all of which, except the fifth decoration, include an undercoat. The cross-section ends with a white layer.

The sample from the egg and dart moulding of the cornice also showed a series of early light cream decorations, although it is not possible to state if the earliest decoration is included in these, as the base of the sample has been lost. Seven light cream decorations, the third and the last two including undercoats, were found, followed by a coarse white layer, another light cream, and then two coloured layers - firstly a pink-buff, and secondly a pale green. A series of five more cream layers follows, the last decoration including an undercoat, and the cross-section ends with a white layer.

A dentil from the cornice was also sampled. One of the samples included some wood, but unfortunately little else - some traces of red primer, and the remains of dark brown, beige and white layers - and the other sample did not include any wood, so the original layer could not be identified. The sample without any wood did, however, include a number of layers, beginning with a warm white or light cream layer, which was followed by nine more decorations, also in light cream, the fifth, eighth and ninth of these with undercoat layers. As can also be seen on the egg and dart moulding, the dentil cross-section continues with a coarse white layer, a light cream layer, and the two coloured decorations - pink-buff and pale green. The dentil cross-section also ends with another five cream decorations, including an undercoat below the fifth decoration, and a white layer at the top.

Area G

Samples were taken from the panel frame of the door and from the door architrave.

Door, panel frame

The wood and the paint layers of this sample had become separated at some point during sampling, so it cannot be absolutely certain that a layer or layers have not been lost at the same time. The wood of the sample shows the remains of a warm white layer which has split. The part of the sample which includes the majority of the paint layers has become slightly distorted, but appears to begin with a white layer, and continues with a sequence of three or four light cream layers. A pink-cream on a light cream undercoat follows, then three light cream layers, two pale green decorations, and six more light creams, with the first and the last two of these painted onto undercoats. The cross-section ends with a white layer and

a red layer.

Door architrave

The first layer above the wood of the architrave is a warm white colour, followed by three light cream decorations, and then the same pink-cream layer as can be seen in the sample from the door. Three more light creams follow, two pale green layers and a coarse white layer, before the cross-section ends with four light cream layers, the last two on undercoats, and the final red layer.

Area H

Samples were taken from the panelling and the board above the fireplace.

Panelling

Traces of red primer remain on the surface of the wood from the panelling. Above this are two light cream decorations, the second one on an undercoat layer, and a darker cream layer with a few particles of red pigment in it. A pale green layer follows, then four decorations in light cream, the last two on undercoat layers. Another decoration in a very light cream colour on a white undercoat is next, followed by a white layer, a red layer, and finally the rich golden colour found elsewhere in the room.

Board

This shows a similar decoration scheme to the panelling, although without the traces of primer and the first light cream decoration, and also with slight differences at the top of the section. The cross-section begins with a light cream decoration, including an undercoat, on the surface of the wood, followed by a darker cream layer and a pale green decoration. Above this are four light cream decorations, the last two on undercoat layers, and a white layer. While the panelling continues with a very light cream layer on a white undercoat, the board has a dark brown layer, although the two final layers of the section are the same: a red layer followed by the golden coloured decoration.

FIRST FLOOR, BACK ROOM

Area I

Samples were taken from the shutter panelling, wall panelling, dado, skirting and cornice of the room.

Shutter Panelling

The cross-section begins with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, followed by a coarse white layer and then a red layer similar to the primer. Above this are two dark red-brown layers, both of which are on undercoat layers - the first undercoat is a dark grey-brown colour, and the second is dark grey. Nine light cream or warm white decorations form the rest of the cross-section, with the fourth, sixth, seventh and ninth decorations including undercoat layers. The section ends with a white layer.

Wall Panelling

It is not possible to state what the earliest decoration of this element was, the sample showing the greatest accumulation of paint layers does not include any wood at its base, and the sample which includes a fragment of wood has only traces of paint remaining on it. It may be that the earliest decoration was similar to that of the shutter panelling, as the paint traces which remain on the wood are white and brown in colour, with a distinction between the two areas only being made in later decorations. This is, however, purely speculative. After the early brown and white paints which remain on the wood, the cross-section of paints shows red traces at its base, which are overlain by a white layer, then a series of six cream decorations. Next in the section are three pale green layers, which are followed by two white layers, four light cream layers, the third one on a layer of light cream undercoat and the last one on a layer of white undercoat. Two white layers follow, then a red layer and the golden

cream, followed by another layer of the red and the golden cream.

Dado

The first layer to be found on the dado panelling is a warm white in colour, followed by a beige coloured layer, after which it shows a similar pattern to the later part of the wall panelling. A series of three pale green decorations is followed by two white layers and a series of four light creams, with the last two of these on undercoat layers: a light cream undercoat in the case of the third layer, and a white undercoat below the last layer. Above this is a white layer, and the sample ends with the golden cream layer - the red layer seen beneath this on the wall panelling is not present.

The dado rail has a much thicker accumulation of paint layers than either of the areas of panelling. It begins with a warm white layer, followed by eleven light cream decorations, the first of these being on a white undercoat and the sixth, seventh and ninth layers on cream undercoat layers. Two white layers separate these from a second series of eight light cream decorations of which the last two include an undercoat. Three dark red layers and a green layer are next in the cross-section, followed by three more light cream layers, then two mid-browns, a mid-red-brown on a coarse, flecked white undercoat, and another mid-brown

layer. The cross-section ends with a pale grey-white layer and two pale blue layers.

Skirting

Traces of red primer are visible on the surface of the wood, followed by a white layer, a light cream layer and a red layer similar to primer. There then follow three layers of dark red-brown each sitting on a layer of white paint. Another dark red-brown layer follows, then another layer of white with dark red-brown on top. This part of the cross-section ends with a light cream layer, then a white layer.

The upper part of the cross-section can be seen in a separate fragment, but it should be borne in mind that paint layers may have been lost from both fragments, and the sequence outlined here may not be a complete decorative record. The second fragment begins with a white layer, which is followed by six light cream decorations, with undercoats below the third and sixth layers, and a pink-cream layer on a light cream undercoat. Four more cream decorations follow, the second one resting on undercoat, then a dark brown layer and two mid-brown layers and a white layer. The next layer is a mid-red-brown colour, which rests on a coarse, flecked white undercoat, and is followed by another mid-brown layer, a pale grey-white layer, two pale blue layers and, finally, a dark green decoration.

Cornice

This cross-section included some wood from the element, which showed traces of red primer. Above this is a white layer, and then a series of seven light cream decorations, with undercoats present below the third and seventh of these layers. A coarse white layer including particles of blue pigment is next, then three cream decorations, including undercoats below the last two. The section ends with two white layers.

FIRST FLOOR, LANDING

Area J

Samples were taken from the wall panelling, dado panelling and skirting.

Wall Panelling

Samples were taken from both the upper panel frame and the panel base. The panel frame cross-section showed traces of red primer on the surface of the wood at the base of the sample, which was followed by a warm white or light cream layer. Thirteen more decorations in similar shades follow this first layer, and the fourth and ninth of these layers include undercoats. A beige layer is next in the section, followed by two more cream decorations, a mid-brown layer and finally, four layers which are white, light cream, white again, and light cream on a layer of undercoat.

The samples from the panel base were, unfortunately, inconclusive and consisted only of fragments of cream paint, with no wood and no identifiable layers present in the cross-section.

Dado Panelling

This shows a similar pattern to the wall panelling, beginning with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, and followed by a warm white layer , and then a series of 11 light cream and warm white decorations, of which the seventh and eleventh are painted onto an undercoat layer. As is the case on the wall panelling, the series of cream layers is followed by a beige layer and two more cream decorations, although in this case the second cream layer appears to be on a layer of undercoat. A mid-brown layer sits on top of the two cream decorations , and is the last of the layers which can also be seen in the wall panelling samples. After this, are the three final layers, of dark green on a grey undercoat, grey on a pale grey undercoat and a mid-brown layer.

Skirting

The sample from the skirting had split into two sections, the first including a fragment of wood from the element itself, and the second including only paint layers. It is, therefore, possible that one or more paint layers may have been lost from the cross-section.

The cross-section begins with traces of red primer on the surface of the wood, which is followed by a white layer, a light cream layer, and a mid-brown layer. This part of the sample then finishes with four decorations of a dark red-brown colour, each lying on top of a light cream layer.

SECOND FLOOR, BEDROOM

Area K

Samples were taken from the wall panelling, dado panelling and architrave.

Wall panelling

These samples had split into sections, half of which included some wood, and the rest which contained most of the paint layers in the section. As stated previously, this may mean that paint layers have been lost as a result.

On the surface of the wood from the panel frame there remain only traces of red primer, and above this, traces of a white paint layer. The majority of the decorations can be seen in the other part of the sample, which begins with a light cream paint, followed by a dark red-buff layer. Above this is a series of cream and white decorations: firstly, two light creams, followed by two white layers, a light cream layer on a light cream undercoat, and a dark cream decoration. Next is a grey-white coloured layer, which is followed by two warm white decorations, the first on top of a pale grey undercoat, and the second on a light cream undercoat. The last two layers in the cross-section are a dark brown-black layer, and lastly, a white layer.

The first section of the sample from the panel bed is like that of the panel frame, showing only traces of red primer, followed by traces of a white layer, on the surface of the wood. The second piece of the sample, however, shows a greater number and variety of decorations than the panel frame. The cross-section begins with two light cream or warm white layers, then six more cream layers. There then follows a white layer containing particles of blue pigment, two more cream layers, and a pink-cream layer. On top of this is a beige layer, then the same dark red-buff layer as can be seen in the panel frame sample. Above this, there is a cream layer, then a white layer, and then the panel bed has been wallpapered. The cross-section continues with a pale grey layer on a white undercoat, two white layers, also painted onto undercoats, and the final two layers are those also seen in the sample from the panel frame, and are a dark brown-black layer, and a white layer.

Dado panelling

As with the wall panelling, the sample had split into two fragments, one of which included wood from the panelling, and the other which contained only layers of paint.

The fragment including wood from the panelling showed traces of red primer on the suface, followed by a white layer, then a second layer red primer traces and white paint. Three decorations in light cream follow, then a darker cream and finally a warm white paint on a light cream undercoat.

The second part of the fragment does not include any wood from the panelling, and begins with a light cream layer, followed by two darker creams and a blue-flecked white layer. Next are another cream layer and a slightly pink-coloured cream layer on a light cream undercoat, followed by a beige-coloured layer and a mid-brown layer. Another three or four light cream decorations follow, before a layer of blue paint on a pale blue undercoat, and the section finishes with a warm white layer, a light cream layer on a light cream undercoat, a black layer, and a warm white.

Architrave

The sample from the door architrave again split into two pieces, one of which was only wood, showing no paint traces, and the other containing only paint and no wood. The paint sample began with a layer of white paint, followed by a thick layer of red primer, a dark brown decoration, and a dark red-brown layer. After this, there is a series of six light cream layers, then a slightly pink-coloured cream on a light cream undercoat, another light cream, and a layer of blue-flecked white paint. Two dark creams, a dark pink-cream, a beige layer and a mid-brown layer are next, followed by another series of four light creams. A pale grey layer of paint on a pale grey undercoat, a white layer and a cream layer on warm white undercoat follow, with the top layers of the cross-section being the layer of black paint and the layer of white paint also seen on the dado panelling.

SECOND FLOOR, LANDING

Area L

Samples were taken from the wall. These included a trace of red primer, three layers of

white paint, and marbled wallpaper with a thick coating of dirt on the top.

THIRD FLOOR

Area N

A sample of the goatshair wallplaster was taken.

Area O

Two samples were taken from the trapdoor in the landing ceiling, one from each side. The downside of the trapdoor showed one decoration in light cream above the surface of the wood, and a heavy coating of dirt. The upside of the trapdoor did not appear to have been decorated.
