The photograph of the mat which appears in the book In the Cause of English Lace I quote: 'Point ground lace designed by Miss Channer worked by Mrs Dixon of Clapham, Bedford, at one of the classes of the Bedford Technical Institute, c.1926. Actual size 340mm x 250mm. (Cecil Higgins Art Gallery)'. Which would appear to me that the actual mat is in the collection of the art gallery. I believe (though don't quote me) that Miss Channer's collection was split up between several museums at a time when cataloguing was not always done with care - putting it nicely ;) The museum at Northampton has some of the collection but as I helped with catalogue a few years ago I pretty sure that there is nothing held there as regards the mat.
