I could not have found two more encouraging and supportive men. In particular I would like to acknowledge the numerous sacrifices Ryan made on a regular basis which allowed me to devote so much attention to my studies. I would also like to thank my parents, Stanley and Kathleen Jaworski, and my father-in-law, Rick Fischer, for their unwaivering support throughout my three and a half years at Virginia Commonwealth University. And lastly, I am grateful to the choir of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Bethesda, Maryland, for their constant encouragement and friendship over many years. iii Table of Contents List of Figures…………………………………………………………………………………….iv Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………………….....xv Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 1: The Tale of a Dining Room, Two Patrons, and Two Designers……………………..12 Chapter 2: Thomas Jeckyll’s Sunflowers: Out of the Shadows……………………………. ……29 Chapter 3: Thomas Jeckyll and the Porcelain Room Tradition: A Decisive Break………...……41 Chapter 4: An Introduction to Decor in the Dining Room………………………………… ……66 Chapter 5: The Principle of Decor in the Peacock Room………………………………….. ……99 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………...........154 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………………157 Appendix A: Decor Quotations from Architectural Books: The “Do’s”………………………193 Appendix B: Decor Quotations from Architectural Books: The “Don’ts”……………………..220 Appendix C: Peacocks in Secular Interiors…………………………………………………….230 Appendix D: Decorous Designs by E.W.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc May-June2020 ISSUE 68 ISSN 2203-4366 Unearthing the Irish clachan in South Australia The clachan was a small settlement or hamlet common in Ireland, the Isle of Man and Scotland. Though many were originally kirktowns (with a church), today they are often thought of as small villages lacking a church, post office, or other formal building. It is likely that many date to medieval times or earlier – a cluster of small single-storey cottages of farmers and/or fishermen, invariably found on poorer land. The Great Famine in Ireland (1845–49) caused such disruption to the social system that the clachans there virtually disappeared, and many in the Scottish Highlands were victims of the Clearances. Remains can be seen in many upland and coastal areas. Some are clustered in a dip in the landscape, to protect from Atlantic winds, but others stretch haphazardly along main roads. The only Irish clachan settlement outside of Ireland and Britain has now been found in South Australia's mid north. The cluster of houses dating back to the 1850s had been hidden under a field about one kilometre from the town of Kapunda for about 70 years. Radar and then excavation confirmed the settlement - known as Baker's Flat - was built in the style of a traditional Irish clachan. Baker’s Flat early brochure Kapunda, just north of the Barossa Valley, was established in 1842 after copper was discovered in the area. While most of the miners were Cornish, some Irish people also came 1 HERITAGE May-June 2020 to South Australia at the same time because of the potato famine.
