Corridor, A La Ronde
Giving a rather inadequate impression of the 16-sided nature of the house, and also the original green decor restored by the National Trust.

Shell gallery, A La Ronde
Before the National Trust acquired A la Ronde twenty years ago, the gallery was accessible to visitors. Now you have this glimpse up the staircase, and a room with closed-circuit television viewers which enable inspection (see Image); the gallery is too fragile and narrow to allow visitors.

Feather frieze, A La Ronde
This must have taken a long time. The frieze uses feathers "from many species of birds, including game birds, fowl, jays and parrots, laboriously stuck down with isinglass" http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-alaronde . Like the extraordinary shell gallery (Image), the work of the eccentric cousins Jane and Mary Parminter.

Shell gallery, A La Ronde, on CCTV
Visitors aren't allowed up into the gallery - see Image - but a room is devoted to monitors connected to cameras installed there; these are provided with controls which allow panning and zooming.

Exmouth: A La Ronde
A La Ronde is a unique 16-sided house, built on the instructions of two spinster cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, on their return from a grand tour of Europe. The house was completed around 1796 and contains many objects brought back by them from their travels. The space in the roof contains a shell-encrusted gallery that is now so fragile that it can only be viewed by visitors by means of a closed-circuit television.
This is the north-eastern façade. Originally the roof was thatched and the dormer windows and the catwalk are Victorian additions. The property is now owned by the National Trust.
