| Summary: | A group of extremely rare stained wall-hangings is preserved in the north range of Yarde Farm, which was built in 1718. The cloths are described and their context discussed. This paper offers a wider discussion of such textiles in England: use is made of local documentary evidence, notably that recorded in the Exeter Orphans Court inventories. Appendices discuss the documentary evidence relating to the owner of the house who probably commissioned the cloths and analysis of their pigments. |
