Ann Bucks book on the Thomas Lester laces shows many Bedfordshire designs with turned corners, dating from the last half of the 19th century. I have seen Tonder patterns with turned corners, but have no way to date the examples. So I am not sure if they are 19th or 20th century, but they do contain the same problems as designing corners for Bucks -- the flattened grid for the ground. Lorelei
