You're both being very kind but it was nothing to do with being distracted. Just an old fashioned Senior Moment! I should have checked.....

Parr Hall in Warrington, home of the Cavaille Colle organ that was originally in Bracewell Hall?
The Parr Hall website didnt really mention the Cavaille Colle Organ.
Its an interesting building as one thinks from the photo the entrance is at the end from which the camera is looking with a double height flank wall on the left, however the building is orientated side on to the road with the entrance lobby on the left in a single storey building from which the windowed wall rises. The giveaway on the image search was the "flat" wood panelled ceiling , many of this style are more vaulted or curved plastered. Huddersfield Town Hall did come up on other searches as see similar images.
The horn bucket can also be used in emergency to hold milk from a goat.

Stanley mentions it in an earlier post on here

The picture looked familiar so I did a bit of a trawl of the site.

The mystery object is small but heavy being made of cast lead. I have a pair and they were used on horned show cattle to gradually bend the horn to the best angle cosmetically.
Another object?

Yes Kev and by timing how long you were counting you could arrive at RPM.
