The Star Chamber Bedroom

The Star Chamber was built about 1362 by Sir John Radclyffe as his private wing of the house. The Star Chamber had gilt coloured lead stars studded on to the ceiling, but have been replaced by plaster replicas. May be this is where Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby plotted Gun Powder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Nobody is sure if this is true.
