Description: | When the Lord was in residence the large chests would be opened, and the woven fabrics they contained would be hung from large wall brackets. This added a great deal of colour and warmth to the room, and showed the wealth of the Lord.The hangings that are seen in the Great Hall show the mixing of colours and patterns, which was common during the late fifteenth century. The sidewalls are hung with the €˜Medici€™, a 15th Century Gothic design of stylised pomegranates. The dais end wall is €˜Fleur de Lys€™; the design formed part of Sir Thomas€™ own device and is woven in his colours of blue and gold. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
