WEMYSS SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK
Dublin Core
Title
WEMYSS SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK
Description
Started in 1876 by Dora, the eldest daughter of James Hay Erskine Wemyss, of Wemyss Castle, the school was modelled on the Royal School of Needlework in London; but with a partisan purpose. The Wemyss School sought to teach a skill to local girls from which they would then be able to earn a living. Under the present guardian, Fiona Wemyss, the School has progressed to teaching all kinds of Needlecrafts, supplying materials and designs to customers while still retaining the original building and a wealth of historical pieces.
