16th Century Painted Room的点评
点评：This really is a hidden gem and you may not find mention of it in the guide books.
The splendid black and white building at the bottom of Church Street houses tourist information on the ground floor. Round the back is the entrance to the painted room on the first floor above.
This is one of Ledbury’s oldest buildings, believed to date from the late C15th. The building was originally the Booth Hall which was the administrative centre for the town and the Town Constable lived here. The upper floor room was the courtroom provided by the Constable for use on market days. It was a Low Court dispensing rough and ready justice. Instant punishments included branding, whipping or putting in the stocks.
The Town Constable at the time was Richard Skull, who was descended from the minor nobility and married Elizabeth Skynner, from one of the wealthy merchant families. They were both up and coming members of society and trying to emulate their betters, although they couldn’t afford tapestries and had to ‘make do’ with paintings instead.
The building had become very dilapidated and was being restored in the late C20th when workmen stripping off layers of wallpaper and paint uncovered wall paintings. Work stopped and a team of experts were called in from English Heritage. They found what is one of the best examples of Elizabethan domestic paintings in Britain.
A guide gives a short talk about the building and the wall paintings. These are a typical Tudor design of interwoven lines representing the paths and hedges of a knot garden, a popular pattern at the time. Between are flowers, fruits and leaves set on a dark blue or black background. There are a series of texts set in rust coloured borders. These have been identified as quotes from a 1549 psalter and the 1557 Bible. The colours are as vibrant as when first painted.
This is definitely worth finding. Entry is free but donations appreciated.

翻译：这真是一颗隐藏的瑰宝，你可能在旅游指南中找不到它的踪迹。
教堂街尽头那栋华丽的黑白建筑底层设有旅游信息服务。建筑后方是通往楼上一楼彩绘房间的入口。
这是莱德伯里最古老的建筑之一，据信可追溯到15世纪晚期。这座建筑最初是布斯厅，是该镇的行政中心，镇警官就住在这里。楼上的房间是镇警官在集市日提供的法庭。这是一个低级法院，负责执行粗暴的司法程序。即时惩罚包括烙印、鞭笞或戴上枷锁。
当时的镇警官是理查德·斯库尔，他出身于小贵族家庭，娶了来自富商家庭的伊丽莎白·斯金纳为妻。他们都是社会上崭露头角的新成员，努力向比他们更优秀的人学习，尽管他们买不起挂毯，只能“凑合着”画作。
这座建筑曾经破败不堪，在20世纪后期进行修复时，工人们在剥去层层壁纸和油漆时，发现了一些壁画。修复工作被迫停止，英国遗产委员会请来了一个专家团队。他们发现了英国伊丽莎白时代家居绘画的典范之一。
一位导游简要介绍了这座建筑和壁画。这些壁画是典型的都铎风格设计，交织的线条代表着当时流行的结式花园的小径和树篱。深蓝色或黑色的背景上，点缀着花朵、果实和树叶。锈色的边框中嵌有一系列文字。这些文字已被鉴定为出自1549年的《圣咏集》和1557年的《圣经》。色彩依然鲜艳如初。
这绝对值得一看。免费入场，欢迎捐赠。
