Synopsis
Excerpt from Church Embroidery, Ancient and Modern: Practically Illustrated
In the early history of the Christian Church in England, frequent reference is made to elaborate needlework vest. Ments, altar-coverings, and hangings of various kinds, the cost of any one of which would be no mean dowry in our own day; so richly were they wrought, not only with the threaded steel in gold, and silks of many - coloured and marvellous tints, but interwrought with pearls and precious stones.
