Construction of a Maiden's Garland
In 1859 the last Maiden's Garland was carried at Fylingdales Old Church for the funeral of Janey Levitt. This garland still survives relatively complete (see Fig. (8), opposite), but it has suffered considerably from woodworm, while its textile decorations are so fragile that they would shatter if handled. The accompanying drawings were prepared in October 1982 while the garland still hung in its glass case. They are substantially accurate, but f…
The Knitting Sheath
In their introduction to European Folk Art, Robert Wildhaber and Hans Jürgen Hansen stress the need for further studies into this most significant but neglected subject.1 They then proceed to reject totally the popular nineteenth-century view of folk art as an expression of nationalism, arguing that the arts of any region or state all follow great international stylistic movements, although their detailed application may vary considerably even fr…

This paper seeks to study these influences with regard to a …

Life and Traditions in the Yorkshire Dales
Techniques of the Truro Pottery
Although the products of the craftsman potter are fairly well known, little work has been done on his working techniques, even though they appear to have varied considerably from one area of the country to another. In 1900 there were still about a hundred coarse earthenware potters working throughout England, but their numbers have been reduced drastically over the last few years, so that there are now only two such potteries in fulltime commerci…
