A note from Lesley

This is a tablecloth

People used to pay a shilling or two to have someone work their names
and the money would go to the war effort or some fundraising activity that was on at the time

No-one at the church seemed to know when it had been worked

There is no indication of what the names in 'yellow' signify
Maybe a larger donation ?? ... or did they just run out of blue thread !!
