Hi, We visited Bowes Museum last March, and I went to the web site because I must say the lace, as a collection, certainly didn't jump out at us. Obviously would have helped to know what is available before the visit!
Anyway, on the web site is the description of (among hundred of items with lace) a handkerchief bordered in lace. This is how the description reads: "Linen handkerchief with Meander lace border like Honiton but home made." What is Meander lace?? The web site doesn't give a number, so I can't direct you to this particular item. I searched by selecting catagories from their drop down menus, and happened upon a selection with quite a few handkerchiefs. I suspect whoever cataloged these didn't know a whole lot about lace.
