This is sad news indeed - an icon of the lace world. I was lucky enough to meet Santina some years ago.
In her earlier years she was keeper of the lace collection at the Abington Museum in Northampton. I did voluntary work there on the lace collection during the 1980/90s and used the extensive card references and research that she had compiled during her time there.
