Built between 1869 and 1874, Knightshayes Court in Devon was designed for the Heathcoat Amory family by the Gothic Revivalist architect and interior designer William Burges. An eccentric and, at-times, controversial character, he designed some of the most original and extravagant Victorian interiors, sometimes while dressed in medieval costumes. This quirky, charming wallpaper adorns the walls of one of the bathrooms.

Since ancient times, Alderley Edge in Cheshire has been famous for its local copper mine, and for Nether Alderley Mill, a traditional flour mill which has been central to local agriculture for over 600 years. This beautiful and profound mud red is found in the bare sandstone walls of the original mill, and can be seen in its full glory on the south-west face.
