Internally the roof space has been lined with plasterboard in readiness for the plaster skimming. This has been a precise job to ensure the plasterboards fit round the different shapes of the timbers. A representative of Mike Wye and Associates, who are specialist in lime plaster, visited the Hall to provide information and advice about the plastering of the ceiling and top of the walls. He also estimated quantities and confirmed the products. These have now been ordered. The timbers in the roof have to be protected so they are not stained by the plaster. Each piece of timber is being covered with suitable protective material.
The stud wall that has provided the internal lining of the old thrashing barn door has now being removed and this has exposed the inside of the door for the first time in many years. This shows the structure of the door and details like hinges.
During the week it is possible to see significant progress on the thatching of the roof at the rear of the Hall.
