Hi, Mrs. Treadwin wrote a book titled Antique Point and Honiton Lace. The Antique Point is the Battenberg I make today, the Honiton is bobbin lace. It appears there was an exhibit in August 2019 at Exeter Cathedral of some of her lace. There were a number of mentions of her when I googled her name. I need to go back and read more. She was born in 1820 as Charlotte Dobbs. She won a prize medal in 1851 for some pieces of Honiton lace including a flounce!
I can't find my copy of her book at the moment so I can't give you the details on that. Very good for braid lace.

Mrs. Treadwin is ringing a bell in my mind but I don't know why. Was she the one who designed Victoria's wedding lace? Or?
