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.
