Summer Court, Kun Ting Study Hall 覲廷書室消暑軒

In the Corridor of a Study Hall

I went with a few sketcher friends to a historic building in the Tin Shui Wai district to sketch today. It was a a nice study hall built in 1870 for the local villagers.

今日去咗位於天水圍好靚好舒服的覲廷書室消暑軒寫生。

覲廷書室是一所位於香港屏山坑尾村的私塾,於1870年落成,是屏山鄧族廿二世祖香泉公為紀念先父覲廷公而興建,設立書室以培養族中子弟考取科舉,進身仕途,提升家族的社會地位。因此,覲廷書室兼具教育及祭祖的意義。
覲廷書室是兩進式建築,第一進是門廳,後進為正廳,供奉歷代祖先靈位,中間為庭院,兩旁有耳室。室內的祖龕、斗拱、屏板、壁畫、屋脊裝飾、檐板和灰塑等別具特色,為當時工匠精湛之傑作。 覲廷書室的修繕工程於1991年完竣,書室回復昔日光采。修葺費用由香港賽馬會捐助。
