The Politics of Wallpaper: two Cheshire country houses in the late Regency period

A fascinating talk on the context of wallpaper schemes at two Cheshire houses- Dunham Massey and Oulton Park- at a time of political upheaval in Manchester in the early 19th century. Given by Rowena Beighton-Dykes, the Chair of the Liverpool Group of the Victorian Society, an expert on period interiors with a particular interest in wallpaper.

In her illustrated talk Rowena will share insights into the situation prevailing at the time, and question whether politics might have influenced the decorative choices of the two property owners.
