A short illustrated article on "point compté," or darned netting lace, one of the earliest forms of lace-work. It describes a 1614 Italian altar frontal of the Annunciation given to Peterborough Cathedral, pieces at Conway church, and historical references to netting at St. Paul's (1295) and Exeter (1327). It also mentions a piece attributed to Mary Queen of Scots, and ends with an obituary note on the author, a church embroiderer. Five photographs show the frontal and smaller examples.
