Temple Newsam.

From a tutorial with Nick, I was told about a Temple Newsam, one of the great historic estates in England. The mansion houses rich collections of works of art, and Temple Newsam is also famous for it's collection of historic wallpapers scanning the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, many of which are ingenious to the house.


The headings of the types of wallpaper they hold at Temple Newsam are:
- Chinese Wallpaper
- Crimson Flock Wallpaper
- Green Flock Wallpaper
- Crimson Flock Wallpaper, pomegranate pattern
- Gothick 'Stucco' Paper

Im hoping to go and visit on friday afternoon for re-search and to learn more about the history of wallpaper and technique.
