The Marble Hall, Norfolk England, 1637  #repost via @tom_kligerman #raynhamhall #norfolk #england #uk #architecture #blackandwhite #marblehall #marblefloor #classicism

Circling the prow of the ship, the inhabitant enters the reflexive space to the library, the Marble Hall. An important part of the dignified itinerary through many  Baroque Monasteries, the Marble Hall or Festival Hall would be the home to feasts and receptions that christen many visits. This beautiful space use of large  ground floor windows, and smaller circular ones above (same as the library directly across). 

The three dark round windows on the opposite facade would be open when the procession of dignitaries came through, and at that precise moment the musicians would begin to play, filling the hall with ceremonious music. The careful attenuations of the architecture, such as this, reflect how scrupulously the space was designed to coincide with these rituals, and how important were the impressions.

The Marble Hall at Raynham, the north Norfolk seat of the Townshend family since 1622, has retained its original design laid out by Sir Roger. William Kent was brought in later by his grandson to bring the property fashionably up to date. The World of Interiors; photo by Christopher Simon Sykes.
