Description: | The textile collection includes a group of embroidered silk banners from choral and madrigal groups in the Cam, Uley and Stinchombe areas; and some samplers.
Costume is stronger in male attire than female, which is unusual. There is a stronger collection of chidren's costume including a boy's dress, c.1830; and an unusual boy's jump-suit, c.1810-15. There are also examples of archery coats and waistcoats of the early 19th century; Stroud Harriers Athletic Club vest, shorts and belt, late 19th century; riding boots; a good range of cycling clothing and accessories; motorist's gauntlets and dustcoat; and costume relating to domestic service, brewing, textiles and agricultural work such as smocks, leather leggings and cloth making clogs. | Subjects: | Costume & Textile | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Stratford Park
