Report on a historic building survey undertaken in response to a planning condition as part of a successful Listed Building Consent application, prior to the renovation of Riseholme Hall's interior. The historic building survey focused on three rooms on the first floor of the 1840 extension, which were subjected to the greatest degree of alteration during the renovation works. The plaster ceilings of all three rooms were damaged and had been removed, exposing the historic hand-riven timber laths. These were the primary focus of the survey. They were nailed to the roof timbers with iron lath nails, which in places had caused them to split almost halfway along their length. The laths also showed significant damage from both water and age. All appeared original, though there were differences in styles between the rooms.
