Liz and all Maids Moreton is Just North of Buckingham, so right in the heart of the county's lace tradition. On the village website https://www.maids-moreton.co.uk/heritagewalk/ it says
Maids Moreton became the centre of the Bucks Lace industry during the late 19th century under the direction of Miss Margaret E. Burrowes, the daughter of Arnold Burrowes who built Maids Moreton Hall in 1883. The work undertaken by Miss Burrowes heralded an important revival in bobbin lace which received royal patronage. I'm sure I've seen something else with a mention of this lady (Channer's book?), and possibly a pricking or two but my books are at home. Perhaps this will jog someone's memory Louise, In Cambridge where the students are back and the rain is just approaching. >>> Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2019 11:38:04 +0100 (BST) From: Elizabeth Pass <elizabeth.pa...@talktalk.net<mailto:elizabeth.pa...@talktalk.net>> Subject: [lace] Bukingham Lace Industry Hello Arachnes, I've been given a pricking of a very large, two piece, Bucks collar, each piece maximum 7inches by 18 inches. The pricking has been rubber stamped as follows - Buckingham lace Industry, Moreton Manor House, Buckingham. Does anyone have any information about this?
