A July 2020 compilation by Brian Lemin of inscriptions found on East Devon lace bobbins, shown first as photographs and then as a numbered transcription list of 31 inscriptions with their original spellings. It includes the story of a bobbin given by Edward Saunders to Ann Bond of Beer, with genealogical notes, and a catalog of the Marks family bobbins used by Ivy Marks, one of the last lace apprentices in Honiton. These are described by date, initials, mottoes, and decorative bands such as wedges, brickwork, fish, and hearts.
