- About this work
-
This atypical sampler in black wool cross-stitch, with small decorative motifs, records Susanna Gillmore’s family genealogy. Made when she was twelve, there is enough information here to trace her family in parish registers and determine Gillmore’s marriage in 1835 in Frome to Arthur Southcombe Tucker.
