Thank you Nancy, Jane & Lorelei for setting me straight! And for keeping me from making a major error at the library. Unless there is some scholarly objection, I think "early plaited lace" could work when referring to English lace made in the 1500's. The object here is to make a brief statement that illustrates the long history of lace in Britain. Opus Anglicanum was a specialty there a bit earlier & it seems like a natural progression for lace to have developed a similar relationship with the church in Britain, Bedfordshire area or not, in that period. I see that the IOLI library has the Levey book so I will try before I buy! Thanks again for your expert input. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
