Hi all
Re Catherine's comment below - The Spriggs collection is in the care of the All Hallows Museum Honiton - they have held the collection since 1994 when it was collected from Rougemont House by Pat Perryman and Mrs Yallop. Jane Page has included quite a few of the pieces in the 450 Years of Lace book and CD compiled in conjunction with their exhibition in 2002. The museum also rotates pieces from the collection in their displays. The collection is on permanent loan to the Museum. There are some wonderful pictures of pieces in the book - mostly needlelace and some bobbin. Catherine said "Thank you for the link Annette and I've taken a quick look this morning. I don't recognise any of the items as having been part of the Spriggs collection but as I said earlier, I believed Dr Spriggs collection to be on permanent loan to the School and not belonging to Susan herself. When the school closed his collection was then moved to Rougemont House Exeter but I'm not sure if it's still there."
