Physical Description

White linen cloth with a stylised, trefoil scalloped edge finished with buttonhole stitches. Along the top is a spray of white flowers in stem stitch (33cms long). A repair has been done along the bottom of the cloth, the fabric has been rejoined, and there are darned patches on each side of the new join. The stitches are in different shades of red thread.

Theme and Purpose

Commemorative. Names of local people. Thought to be Red Cross but there is no documentation to support that.
