Legions of amateur artists in search of picturesque sites followed Reverend William Gilpin’s popular itineraries. Among the artists were women of the gentry and the growing, educated middle class for whom drawing was a mark of female accomplishment. Lady Templetown was an amateur painter and sculptor who contributed designs of quaint domestic scenes to the factory that produced Wedgwood china.
