In the Cause of English Lace by Catherine C Channer

Catherine Channer's committment to the hand-made lace industry and its workers, and her first hand knowledge of each, are illustrated in her book Lacemaking in the Midlands Past and Present, written in co-operation with her friend Margaret Roberts. Although published 90 years ago, this book has few modern rivals, and is reprinted here for the firt time within a more extensive work by Anne Buck.
Catherine Channer dedicated a lifetime to the cause of English lace. She was a talented lacemaker who, as a young woman at the end of the last centruy, lived in the Northamptonshire village of Ravensthorpe. Anne Buck is well known for her work in the fields of English costume and lace and is the author of several standard works on these subjects.
