Thanks for the information on the Nottingham Textile Museum. I'll let her know
that. I believe that my friend has already been to Hardwick Hall, but I'll
mention it anyway.

I live quite near Nottingham, but unfortunately didn't manage to get to the
Textile Museum before it closed. I've done a little googling and discovered
that it closed in 2003 because the old house on Castle Gate was considered
unsuitable for the display of sensitive textiles and costumes. It looks as
though there have never been enough funds to display the collections anywhere
else. See

(scroll down to see the relevant bits.)
I too thought of Bess of Hardwick's embroideries. Hardwick Hall is in
Derbyshire, close to the M1 motorway, if Ginni's friend can travel that far.
