Honiton Braid
Examples of Honiton braid.
Honiton braid is a brand name for a form of machine made tape lace. From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, this type of tape was used in Britain for making Branscombe (tape) lace. Branscombe is a village ten miles south of Honiton, hence the name for the braid that was used for the lace.
