Wall paintings

NOTES: Construction on the abbey church began in 1077 and continued until the completion of the Lady Chapel in 1320. This church and the medieval gatehouse were the only monastic buildings of the Benedictine abbey to survive the dissolution in 1539. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1877. The church was extensively restored under Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1856-1877. The fronts were rebuilt and restoration completed by Edmund Beckett Denison, later Lord Grimthorpe, in 1880-1885.

NOTES: The hall was built in 1340 but refurbished in the 16th century. The wall and ceiling paintings date from 1578-1595.

NOTES: This design was intended for the chancel of the Church of St George designed by Aston Webb in 1903 and now demolished.

NOTES: The dolls' house was conceived both as a gift from the British nation to Queen Mary and as an historical record of the ideal early 20th century English house. Princess Marie Louise commissioned Lutyens to design the house and together with the involvement of Sir Henry Morgan and a huge range of well-known manufacturers, it became a showcase for 1920s British craftsmanship and design. The house first went on display at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924.
