Hello Diana, I have always thought what a poignant story that one in Todmorden is - we used to live just across the border from Todmorden (our Doctor was a Todmorden chap born and bred, but always regarded as a 'foreigner' when he practiced in Newchurch in Rossendale, across the great divide in Lancashire!) and first heard about the horrific story when I went to visit the church there. It just seemed so sad. But I didn't realise that bobbins were made to commemorate the event - although I can appreciate that it must have caused quite a stir in the local neighbourhood, and the national life of the country too.
I shall have to wait for my 'hanging bobbin' I think, but if I ever see one at a price I can afford, I shall be there, elbowing all others out of the way. Take care, and thanks for the message.
