According to the Devon Lace Teachers website there was a lace called Colyton Chromatic, a colored lace. There is a photo of Colyton Chromatic on their website: http://www.devonlaceteachers.co.uk/devon-laces.html Wouldn't it be interesting if your ancestors made this unusual lace. According to the website, a piece was entered for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and there is an example of Colyton Chromatic at the Victoria and Albert. Devon They lived in a village called Colyton Raleigh (I am not sure how it is spelt now). We hoped we might find out details of the sort of lace she might have made but of course we never found any information about that. It was a lovely connection and yes we enjoyed the countryside around there.
