It is one of a group of twelve now known in various public and private collections that were apparently worked by pupils of a teacher called Judeth (or Juda) Hayle in the town of Ipswich in Eastern England. The group range in date between 1691 and 1710, and between them share a number of the same motifs and patterns, as well as a moral verse, declaring that 'larnin [learning] is most excellent'. Each acknowledges the guidance of Judeth Hayle, either citing her as 'dame', or including her initials.","physicalDescription":"Linen sampler embroidered with silk in cross, long-armed cross and satin stitch, and with eyelets.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Groome, Mary","id":"A6086"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"linen (material)","id":"AAT14069"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"embroidered","id":"AAT53653"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Linen embroidered with silk","categories":[{"text":"Household objects","id":"THES48939"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AP0805"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"009","id":"THES308846"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Sampler","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Ipswich","id":"x34391"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1704","earliest":"1704-01-01","latest":"1704-12-31"},"association":{"text":"dated","id":"AAT54714"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Margaret Simeon","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"79.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"14.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Mary Groome / September the 9 1704 aged 17 / IG IH G IH MG'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"09/09/1704","earliest":"1704-09-09","latest":"1704-09-09"},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"silk","method":"embroidered","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Decoration","note":"Embroidered"}],"objectHistory":"Registered File number 1992/524.\r\n\r\nMary Groome is the daughter of John (a linen weaver) and Mary Groome.
