About Fencing in Honiton
Honiton in Devon became famous for its lace, a craft believed to have been brought to the town by Flemish refugees in the sixteenth century and first documented in a 1620 pamphlet describing bone lace made at Honiton and nearby Bradninch. By 1698 over half the town's population earned a living from lace making, and the trade reached its peak of popularity in the Victorian era after Queen Victoria chose Honiton lace for her wedding dress and veil in 1839, though the rise of machine made net in the early 1800s gradually moved production into factories, and by 1940 no one in the town still made a living from it.
