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 further details might become apparent, should full conservation be carried out
