Description:
|
Interior view showing the corridor at the top of the staircase at Snowdenham Hall, Bramley, Surrey, The wooden staircase leading to the hall is highly decorated with acanthus leaves visible in the carving. The newel post at the top of the stairs is incorporated into support for the wooden vaulted ceiling of the great hall. The vaulted great hall is the centrepiece of the building and was decorated by John Bentley, the architect for Westminster Cathedral. Snowdenham Hall was built in 1886-1887 by the architect Ralph Neville, for the Courage brewing family, for whom the image was taken. The house is still standing but has been repurposed as luxury apartments.
