Portraits of the Ingram family, who owned the stunning Leeds property for 300 years, can be viewed by the public in a series of weekly tours.
Starting on Wednesday, February 18, at 2pm, the tours will give visitors a trip back in time and look at the changing face of the Tudor-Jacobean mansion, bought in 1622 by financier Sir Arthur Ingram whose descendants became the Viscounts Irwin.

Visitors to one of England's great historic estates, set in over 1,500 acres of parkland, woodland and farmland, can take a look behind the green baize door at what life was like upstairs and downstairs and see how the house was heated and lit before the introduction of electricity and central heating.
There will be the chance to see various other paintings and furnishings.
Other tours will look at how the appearance of the house has changed over the last 500 years.
The full programme is available by contacting Temple Newsam House.
There is no need to pre-book a Wednesday tour.
