Another one of this amazing place from a trip yesterday - this one with a wider angle to capture more of the roof.

Gary - yes, I think you're about right with the question about the timbers.  The sheer amount of wood in this building is fairly staggering; it seems very well managed by the Natural Trust, sensitively restoring as necessary.  Here's the webpage:

I'd have liked to have got some exterior shots at some point, but some restoration work is going on on the grounds around the outside, and I haven't managed the right time to visit.

Nikon D800E/Zeiss 21mm
ISO 200 0.4" f/7.1

Full res here.  Both versions are 1200px and worth looking at against a dark background.
Since it's very dark inside with no arficial lights (thank goodness - many wood-timbered interiors are ruined for photogaphs this way), white balance is a bit of a personal preference.  I've chosen to warm these shots up a bit - the natural colour of the oak is a bit more grey than you see here.
 
Cheers,
D

EDIT: I've now updated with the full-width version.

An amazing place -- there are braces on braces. The natural light looks great, and I like the wider view. Thanks for including the historical detail.
