Mary Linwood's (1755-1845) copies of old master paintings in crewel wool (named from the crewel or worsted wool used), in which the irregular and sloping stitches resembled brushwork, achieved great fame from the time of her first London exhibition in 1787 and was the school mistress of a private school later known as Mary Linwood Comprehensive School. She received a medal in 1790 from the Society of Arts.
