Sabine Winn

Sabine Louise Winn (1734–1798) was a Swiss patron of the arts and a pioneering textile artist.

A neighbour, Catherine Cappe, claimed that "the peace of the [Winn] family" was "entirely destroyed" by the return of the newlyweds to Yorkshire.

[3] Winn herself was very unhappy in Yorkshire, which she described as "one of the most desolate and gloomy corners of the universe".

[4] The couple commissioned Thomas Chippendale and Robert Adam to redesign the interior of Nostell Priory.

She has been credited by historian Serena Dyer as an early crafter of dressed prints in Britain.
