Delapré Abbey in Northampton was chosen by The Lace Guild to display the exhibition of competition ‘Discovery’ lace.
On a sunny afternoon Chris and I visited the Neo-classical Mansion, former Abbey of St Mary de la Pre, to see the lace.
The lace is displayed in two rooms and what a treat. Two lacemaker’s were sitting at their pillows and we were told the story of the lace by a friend I had not seen in many years... thanks Anne.
Such a varied collect of lace and all beautifully made. Makes me want to get my lace pillow out and move some bobbins, something I haven’t done for many years. Well worth a visit and on show Wed-Sun until August 2nd.
