In England it is uncertain when lace was introduced although some claim that Queen Catherine of Aragon taught lacemaking to some of the inhabitants of Ampthill when she lived there in 1531, while awaiting her divorce from Henry VIII. Catherine was the daughter of the infamous Ferdinand II and Isabella I of Aragon y Castille, and the mother of the Bloody Mary.
A pattern named after her is still in use in the district. She is also said to have burnt all her lace so that more lace could be ordered from the local women thus providing more work and income for the poor of the neighbourhood so there is no wonder that some people confuse her with Catherine the Saint, who is the patron Saint of spinners, weavers and lacemakers and who gave her name to the Catherine Wheel firework because of the way she was martyred. St Catherine's Day or Cattern's Day, as it is sometimes known, is still celebrated by Lacemakers worldwide on November 25th.
