Today we visited Wrest Park and were luck to be invited to join a 'Wallpaper Tour'. Some of the rooms at Wrest Park aren't generally open to the public but from time to time visitors are allowed to view some of the upstairs rooms, and specifically see the special wallpapers.
Several of the first floor rooms features hand-painted, 18th-century Chinese wallpaper which was a popular and expensive import during the Georgian era.
The wallpaper shows scenes of life in China - people, plants, birds, and butterflies.
