I happened across a description of a pageant in
Norwich in the 1570s that included paintings of the
various types of looms used to weave specialty fabrics
in the city, and one is for weaving lace. I have
seperate documentary references for people weaving
lace in the city, making needle lace, and making
bobbin lace (most of whom were children, BTW).

I'm not a lace person, but this is bugging me! What
type of lace was woven on looms? Any extant examples
online??
