That's right; :-) Written by JulieW (1/24/2006 12:13 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Julie told me that the ceiling is papier mache, penned by Laraine

The vaulted cieling in Horace's gallery was inspired by the fan vaulting in Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey.

Here is a link to another panorama of the chapel( also known as the Lady Chapel) for comparitive purposes;

and here is a link to some pictures ( should you not have the appropriate plug-in)

The fan vaulting at Strawberry Hill was made out of papier mache by Thomas Bromwich ,an 18th century expert in working in that medium.
