A veritable Arts and Crafts establishment had been in existence in Woolstrope, Lincolnshire, before Cromwell's time; for Georde Gifford wrote to Cromwell regarding the suppression of this monastery: "There is not one religious person there but what doth use either embrothering, wryting books with a faire hand, making garments, or carving."

I had rather watch, Sir, If you sitt up, for I know you will wake me. Leid. Indeed I will not; goe, I have much to doe; Prethee to bed; I will not waken thee. Boy. Pray, Sir, leave wryting till to morrow. Leid. Why, Boy? Boy. You slept but ill last night, and talkd in your sleep, too; Tumbled and tooke no rest. Leid. I ever doe soe.
