Samplers date back to the 15th century and were used as a way of practising the needlework necessary to decorate items such as clothing, tapestries, fire-screens and bed linens in the home.

A needlework sampler is essentially a piece of embroidery or cross-stitching that demonstrates a person’s needlework skill. They often include the alphabet, figures, motifs, decorative borders or sometimes text. The word ‘sampler’ derives from the Latin exemplum, which means ‘example’. Rarer examples have the name and year
