Ruthie Day's mum, Sally, jokes that her daughter needs to install an armchair in her guest bathroom. "It's just so beautiful," says Sally. "It's more like a mini art gallery." The room's large, gilded mirror proves her point, reflecting as it does theglory of a mosaic torso, a buttock sculpture and huge candles that flicker in the evening. A series of hand-carved pieces on the wall have made the long journey from consecrated ground to this less-hallowed space - they're made from stone sourced from the restoration of English cathedrals.
