| Subject: Blame the statists: 400 year old ceiling is ruined by builders as they remove ornate plaster a day before it could be listed Sat Sep 02, 2017 1:09 am | |
| Historians have hit the roof after a 400-year-old Jacobean ceiling was destroyed by builders - a day before inspectors were due to List it.
The elaborate 17th century fresco has been described as one of the best examples in the country and had adorned a building in Bristol since the 1620s.
The house, in a conservation area Small Street, is being turned into student flats after previously being a hotel and a bar.
