Summary
Relief plaque - A plaster plaque, or cast impression, one of two reliefs in the top half of the west wall the bedroom at Walnut Farm, four feet apart. This is the smallest relief, to the south end of the wall, on a raised rectangular plaster panel with a fleur de lys motif. The panel has a small coarse cement fillet around the border which looks as though it may be a repair. There are also three rusty nail heads visible to the centre area of the panel which may be holding it to the wall. The cement and nails may suggest that this panel has been moved at some time.
