Martha’s Quilt

 The history of a Broderie Perse quilt made in Armagh, Ireland in 1795 and the people who have been its guardians.

 Some of the picture files are a little large - apologies to those with dial-up modems! A 565Kb PDF version is available click here.
This is still quite a large file.

Much of my initial information about the Brett family comes from work done by my uncle Allan Arlidge of Wellington.  He also introduce me to Charles Brett’s Long Shadows Cast Before, and provided contact details for Adam Brett in Belfast who supplied me with addresses, Charles Brett’s will (1829) and other useful information.
