Church Needlework: Ancient and Modern was published in 1867 by Mrs Anastasia Dolby. The ensuing year she published Church Vestments: Their Origin, Use and Ornament. Some years later, in 1872, Mrs Dolby became one of the founders, together with Lady Victoria Welby, and the first director of the Kensington School of Needlework, later to become the Royal School of Needlework.
