Description: | The hangings we see today are woven with a pattern called €˜heraldic beasts€™, which dates from the 14th Century. The fabric was hung on iron brackets, a typical hanging method of the late medieval period. These hangings would be taken down and stored when the family was not in residence, to help protect them from damage.Wall hangings made the Solar more homely and provided some insulation against draughts; it was also a demonstration of the wealth and status of the Burghs'. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
