Excerpt from Devon Pillow Lace: Its History and How to Make It It has been shown that at this time the Netherlands were far in advance of England in weaving, tapestry, and kindred trades. Flanders had shared with Italy in the artistic revival brought about by Cosmo de Medici. The Government had persistently encouraged the introduction of new crafts, and from time to time religious refugees of all nations settled in the provinces, bringing their various trades with them. Carving, engraving, glass blowing, and lace-making all came from Italy at different periods, and lace-making especially was so bound up with religious persecution, that it is impossible to study the subject without at the same time following the history of the Protestant Church.
