Grand Hall and its hidden mural
The Grand Hall has a hidden Mural dating from around the 1830s when it is believed that David Ramsay Hay, a pioneer of 19th century interior decorating in Europe painted the mural. This treasure first came to light in 2003 and due to the requirement for the hall to be let to enable the trustees to keep the fantastic Adams building in good order, they were unable to have the mural examined by experts.
At last we are now able to allow those interested, to examine the photographs taken in 2003 and imagine the wonders still hidden beneath the conservation material and woodchip paper which at present hides this great work of art.
