“The interest in Honiton lacemaking has increased greatly over recent years, and the fame of the museum is now international,” says Allhallows curator Margaret Lewis. “Some of the museum’s collection of lace is regularly loaned out for display at other venues and taken to exhibitions around the world. Our most distinguished visitor to the museum in recent years was Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal in April 2005.”
