Provenance
Bound scrapbook was created as part of the 1932, eighth centenary celebrations for Fountains Abbey which were well documented in the local and national press. The scrapbook was created by Lady Doris Vyner. The family sold the estate in 1966 and personal effects were removed to Scotland where they remained until Commander Vyner’s death in 1989 when they were inherited by the donor. Gifted to the National Trust for display at Fountains and Studley Royal in April 2024.
