Summary
Shallow barrel vaulted fibrous plaster ceiling with decorative lozenges and central oval motif. Two smaller ceilings in alcoves bear similar motifs. Motifs are similar to but less sharp in definition to those in the neighbouring hallway. Possible design came from squeezes taken from a ceiling elsewhere where paint flooding was already prevalent. General design and detailing is poor due to flooding of paintwork, although young age of ceiling suggests this is part of the original design
