This sumptuously illustrated book describes and discusses the great collection of wallpapers at Temple Newsam, the great 500-year old country house near Leeds. It is one of the most significant collections in Britain and includes wallpapers from the house itself and other significant country houses, as well as an eclectic collection of wall coverings given by the antiques dealer, Roger Warner.
