'Temple Newsam is one of the great historic estates in England. Set within over 1500 acres of parkland, woodland and farmland landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th century, it is a magnificent Tudor–Jacobean mansion. Famous as the birthplace of Lord Darnley and home to the Ingram family for over 300 years, the mansion houses rich collections of works of art.' (Introduction on the Temple Newsam website).
Nick advised that myself and anyone else interested in looking at other areas of print might be advised to pay a visit to temple Newsam. Myself and a fellow second year viscom student went and were able to look at their collection of vintage wallpapers, as well as recreations of authentic 18th century wallpaper around the mansion itself. Some of the designs were beautiful, and some very dated. It was interesting to see the use of flock on many of the wallpapers.
The image below is a photo taken from a room we visited displaying historic textiles that were given to temple Newsam by a private collector and antique dealer, Roger Warner.
