Lovely description of Phyllis Maulsbury. From.a shared download of reverend Moselys Moreton Pinkney reminiscing
". A large family, very poor”. Her voice and utterance told for her as much as her looks. She was one of the best lace-makers in the village: but to think of the darkness, damp, and dirt her beautiful fabrics came out of, and the rough cubs all round her "pillow"! In her early days she had made lace that fetched 25/- or 30/- a yard."
