    TEMPLE NEWSAM
    In The Times of September 20 the chapel
    at Temple Newsam is described as "historic."
    This room, however, was until about 50 years
    ago the library, and the bookshelves are still
    in situ. It was converted into a chapel by
    the late Mrs. Meynell Ingram, the aunt of
    Lord Irwin. The old chapel, built by Sir
    Arthur Ingram in the first half of the seven-
    tenth century, probably occupies the site of
    the twelfth-century chapel of the Knights
    Templar. Ingram's chapel was transformed
    into the kitchen at the end of the eighteenth
    century by the widow of the seventh and last
    Lord Irwin of the earlier creation. - Mr.
    Sydney D. Kitson, Blakeney Hotel, Blakeney,
    Norfolk.
