A blind wife of a Cambusbarron weaver, long blind, could distinguish colours in worsted as they passed through her hands, showing little inconvenience from her loss of sight.

A Dartford church antiquities tale recounted nun-made tapestry stock converted into carpets after being worn out, with a joking remark on Hector and Andromache.
