	History of Irish Carrickmacross Lace - The Lace Gallery - tourist attractions in Carlow - Altamount Gardens
		All Irish laces began as imitations of continental European techniques and, side by side with bobbin lace, the technique of working with the point of the needle, 'needlepoint', also developed in Irish centres during the nineteenth century.
		Carrickmacross lace originated in the early 1820's and its style was inspired by some examples of appliqué lace collected by Mrs Grey Porter, wife of the rector of Donaghmoyne, a village some two-and-a-half miles north east of the town of Carrickmacross in County Monaghan, on her honeymoon in Italy in 1816.
		The beauty of the fine quality of Carrickmacross lace, even though it was not by any means inexpensive, attracted purchasers, and the first ten years of the St. Louis school saw a return to prosperity among the lace workers of the district, when among them they earned £20,000.
