Cusworth Hall has been given a make-over, and here you can see a few photos to show what it is like without any exhibits. Cusworth Has is shown with its fresh paint and wonderfully restored rooms.

The listed building is a Grade 1 listed building and is a fine example of a Georgian Country House.

The major refurbishment has involved the exterior and the interior. Roofs on the buildings have been replaced and stonework repaired. The cost has been around £7.5 million pounds.

The interior has been analysed microscopically and the redecorating has taken into account original colour schemes and materials.  Even the doors have been painted in the original style and colour.

Unlike Brodsworth Hall which was acquired by English Heritage complete with the entire contents of the house, it has been decided not to try to re-create the interior furnishings of Cusworth. 

Once Cusworth hall is open to the public, it is planned by school to make use of the educational facilities for enhancing the curriculum.

Cusworth Hall Chapel

In the chapel, ceiling paintings have been revealed by painstaking conservation. In the photos below, some of the beautiful paintings can be seen.

The flooring is of red plaster and was intended, when designed, to re-create the look of an Italian church.
