Talk:Banqueting House

message: G, do you want to mention the single cube room at the Queen's house or are you sticking to double cubes? --Joopercoopers (talk) 19:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we have to try and stay on subject, I only realy mentioned the double cube at Wilton because I stumbld on the ref and it seemed a shame to waste it. Giano (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Any info on the 19th century re-facing? --Joopercoopers (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and No, I have a feeling Soane was involved, which should thrill the man that keeps pesterimg me to write about Soane, but i can't find a ref, buyt I'm sure in my subconscious I have read it somewhere. Giano (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems he won a medal for drawing it as a young man.  This is rather interesting reading for the post-1698 history.  --Joopercoopers (talk) 23:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Coo, that's ineresting, it's coming back to me, i think he was the one who allowed the refacing in his position as Clerk of Works - I have looked through all the books I have here and cannot find where I read it. Giano (talk) 23:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "The architect James Wyatt was directed to provide additional seating for more than 2,000 soldiers, necessitating the building of a second gallery (later removed). At the same time, Wyatt rebuilt the northern annexe, which contained the main entrance staircase. The Times of March 1815, recorded that the 'new alterations and the new organ by Elliot attracted a crowded chapel'." Strangely, our article on him doesn't mention it. Here's a nice historical overview from the same site.  My books draw a blank on the banqueting house, but my book on Greenwich makes it clear Jones was at court both because of his study of palladianism in Italy, but more importantly, because of his collaboration in the masques with Johnson.--Joopercoopers (talk) 23:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hang on I remember writing some red links for Bishonen years ago about Carolean drama, I think Jones may have designed fantastical stes with moving scenery, or was that someone else - Bishonen will rmemeber. Giano (talk) 23:52, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure that's on the money. He got the Queen's house commission on the back of it. --Joopercoopers (talk) 23:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wyatt was known as the "Destroyer" after several ill-advised acts of vandalism on medieval cathedrals and churches, so he'd perhaps have been controversial all by himself. --Joopercoopers (talk) 21:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

text: 'Deed I do. Colvin (3rd ed. 1995) mention Wyatt's staircase added at the north end, 1808-09, but not refacing. Colvin's reference to Wyatt at the Banquetting House is History of the King's Works , vi.545f, but I don't have that series of volumes.--Wetman (talk) 12:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
