Re: [lace] Ottery St. Mary, UK
The lace shop in Honiton, Devon is now closed but the museum is along the road nearby and worth looking round. I got inspired by looking round there seeing the local mayors jabot and cuffs to make cuffs for my husband in around 2004. Ground floor and first floor area so need to be able to climb stairs. The museum is not very big, nothing like the ones in London, but is in a small Devon town high street. Sue T Dorset UK Is there anything to see in Ottery St. Mary for the lace enthusiast? It was home to a lot of lacemakers, I know. Devon Thein - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Ottery St. Mary, UK
I have visited All Hallows Museum in Honiton many years ago, what a wonderful experience. Don't know if is still available, but I bought a book 450 Years of Lace with its accompanying CD. Every time I look at it I remember the enjoyable day I had in Devon.

I agree that the All Hallows Museum in Honiton is great! I had a wonderful day there several years ago. I definitely think that Meghann McCrory should see if she can get down there on her travels, assuming there is time. It is yet another example of a small museum where a lot of lace is on display. Sometimes these small museums provide a much better lace experience than larger museums which try to show a wider variety of artifacts. Unfortunately, they are often outside of the major cities that tourists are most likely to visit. Unfortunately, when I visited Honiton, I drove right past the Exeter Museum without realizing what I was missing. So, I am thinking about returning to the area in order to see the Exeter Museum and perhaps have a cream tea. There are a lot of little villages in Devon and in Cornwall that appear to be quite beautiful and I was thinking to stop in at a few and wondered if Ottery St. Mary had anything interesting in it. I love the name. Devon Thein (Yes, I was actually named after the county.) - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
