Description: | Drawing of a detail of a woman's head from a painted glass window at Cliffe-at-Hoo in Kent. This may be from a stained glass window in St Helen's Church in Cliffe. It has 14th century stained glass in two of the cancel windows on the south side. This shows a woman is wearing a wimple. The wimple was a popular headdress in the medieval period and consisted of a square of cotton or linen, often with a gorget, or neck cloth which was attached to the wimple with pins. Wimples were generally worn by married women at this time. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
