William Bell Scott
William Bell Scott (1811-90) was master of the Newcastle design school.
In 1847 he met the Pre-Raphaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti and they became
firm friends, Scott adopting the Pre-Raphaelite style.
In 1855 the courtyard of Wallington Hall was roofed over Scott painted
eight large scenes from Northumberland history in the new hall thus created.
They constitute his best-known work.
