Dear Elizabeth, there is definately Honiton lace (as well as some other types) in the Allhallows museum, as I made my first visit there in September. The staff included Pat Perryman, and they are all very knowledgeable. I had some lovely discussions while there about the quality of the work, finess of the thread etc. Although the museum is small, and only part of the collection is on display at any one time, some of the work is exquisite - and you can look at it for long periods without being bored. My favourite piece is used for the cover artwork of Yallop's History of the Honiton Lace Industry, as well as pictured inside (though the photo does not do the lace justice), and there are pictures of lace from the collection in the book.
It is possible that she was there when the museum was closed, but some of the antique shops have lace for sale, as I discovered while walking around the town.
