Malmesbury Lace by Joan Blanchard
My husband's Great Grandmother was head hunted in the 1880s by the Malmsbury Silk Mill and moved from her home in Essex to the small Wiltshire town.  

By the time the photo, on the back of this book was taken of the lace school in 1907, she had been managing the production of fine silk in the town for nearly 20 years.

Malmsbury lace, obviously holds a special place in my heart because of this.

Malmsbury is a sister lace to the other Wiltshire lace; Downton

What works well?

• The lace is clearly illustrated with black and white photos.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• The Honiton style piece on the front cover is NOT included in this book
• This book is out of print, but readily available on online book sellers, eBay and through lace suppliers
