Thank you Rod and all others who have answered. I think it is Maria who I am looking into for someone else. She was a glover(ess) and I was trying to find out where she worked. Charlbury, Woodstock and Chippy were all glovemaking centres, and I was trying to work out where she might have worked. It is of course possible, that she was an outworker. My Gran and Mum both did outwork for the Charlbury factory. Poor pay, but it kept Gran in fags until the day she died! The other possibility is that she walked to work. 5 miles was nothing in those days. You can still get Woodstock gloves - Made in China! It seems that not many people wear gloves these days. Is it because we jump on the bus or in the car?

Ian I noticed your email regarding glovemaking. I have family that came from Wooton and Woodstock who were gloveresses but had never really looked into the industry. I googled glovemaking in the area and found this item on the BBC website about glovemaking. I was fascinated to find out why it was so popular in the area below, the BBC mention that it started because of the sovereign coming to Blenheim Palace to hunt - an obvious byproduct of hunting is the leather. Are the ones mentioned that are still sold in Woodstock the ones from China? Glove Making According to the Domesday Book of 1086, Wychwood Forest3 covered much of the west of Oxfordshire and was used by the sovereign for hunting wild animals such as deer, sheep and pig. Many a royal figure had a hunting lodge there and later on many a sovereign would stay at nearby Blenheim Palace. During the 13th century Woodstock and Oxford prospered in glove making, using the hides left over from the animals that were hunted down by the sovereign. These were then sold back to the sovereign as gloves and were often ornately decorated, particularly in Elizabeth I's time. The gloves would be used by the sovereign for hunting and hawking. Glove making still takes place today, although not in the factories that once stood. These gloves are sold at the glove shop in Woodstock next to the town hall.
