I believe the book Marjory is quoting from is 'Country Relics' Described by H.J. Massingham, published in 1939 by Cambridge University Press. It is a delightful chapter with line drawings of a lacemaker working at her pillow another of assorted bobbins and a third of a pillow and horse, winder and lacemakers globe. I believe Mr Massingham built his own little museum to contain his collection, in his orchard, which he called the Hermitage. Diana (Northamptonshire, UK)
