The painted ceiling is a 'rare survival' due to how well it is preserved.
Churches and cathedrals can offer amazing cultural experiences, from imposing architecture to brilliant artworks. But it is not just the renowned ones that have something special to offer.
However, the Tudor one on the first floor of Prior's Tower, is not normally open to visitors and offers something particularly rare, because of how well it is preserved."I don't know whether there was a suspended ceiling that hid it and then it got revealed, or whether it was just one of those things that just survived, in the way that these things sometimes do," explains Dr Carter.
The tower was built in the time of Prior Senhouse and the details of the ceiling includes his heraldry. It features a Jacobean fire place that is no longer in use and the rest of the room is panelled like a Georgian drawing room, in light green.
