Jean's post about Budleigh Salterton has reminded me I meant to post about
the museum where the "new" Devon trolley net is on display.

I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the village (town?) but one of my
students went while she was on holiday and was most disappointed.  She said
that
the people at the reception desk didn't seem to even know the lace was in the
museum but when she tracked it down (in an upstairs room, I think) there were
only two small cases in a room with lots of other things (I explained that I
thought that's all that has been found), and the museum attendant in that room
knew nothing about it.

The book which has been mentioned on arachne is on sale (£16, I think) and a
couple of postcards with photos of the samples.

She went with non-lace friends and they thought her absolutely mad to want to
go out of her way to see scraps of lace - fortunately the village was
attractive so they were able to sightsee.
