Answers: this is traditional plastering, must be quite an aged house where they plastered onto battoning instead of out more modern style of plastering bricks, blocks or plasterboard.
i would really recomend getting a professional in to look at this as it sounds resembling some more may come down if you have have a water bleed, plus its not that easy to do if you dont own a clue what you are doing.
thats called lath plastering what you see you can get hold of a stanley knife cut support to nearest joists next put plasterboard in and plaster or achieve thistle bonding and apply thickly to stratum of ceiling then skim over near a finish plaster
