History of Artefact	It belonged to Audrey’s grandma. She made it when she was a teenager. It’s an intricate pattern which she learnt while watching her mother. Two pieces were made - this piece is on the Credence table at Portsmouth Cathedral, the other piece is at Dulwich Church. Traditional fine cotton for crochet.
Historian	Katy Ball
Previous Owners	Grandma (Susan Nye nee. Gardner) and mother (Rose Nye).
Special Memories	‘It really reminds me of my mother and I was thrilled to receive it. It makes me think about who I can give my precious artefacts to - my family have no room for them.’
