Today was Cambridge and the Fitzwilliam museum. Once again the lighting was terrible and the samplers were often so big I had to photograph them in pieces. This first set are all from the 17th century.

These are some non-sampler items in the collection from the 16th/17th century.
These photos are from the entry hall in the Fitzwilliam.
And a few from around town.
Today we were off to Oxford. I took a few photos around the city.
But most of our time was spent at the excellent Ashmolean museum. We were treated to several samplers not on public display. Unfortunately, due to the large size of most of the samplers and the bright overhead florescent lights, photography was really difficult so I wll have to post the pictures in pieces.

These next four were in the public part of the museum.
This first one is part of a man's waistcoat.
