5 Stocking knitters’ cottages in St Mary’s Lane
Restored by The Landmark Trust in 1971

Queen Elizabeth I started the fashion for knitted stockings instead of cloth hose. Hose were breeches and stockings all sewn together. Production of knitted stockings was facilitated by William Lee’s invention of a stocking frame or knitting machine first using wool and then, by 1599 for silk. Old style hose disappeared and the word itself became simply an alternative to stockings.
Stocking making was a major cottage industry in Tewkesbury from the early 17th century. The 1766 Act of Parliament regulating the quality of cotton stockings was called “The Tewkesbury Act”. By 1831 over three hundred men, women and children were stocking knitters in Tewkesbury, which has some claim to be one of the early industrial cotton towns. The factories, with their distinctive wide windows, were known as “top shops”. Men were the machinists while female spinsters worked on spinning wheels, but recessions and competition from Nottingham and other areas, slowly undermined the industry. Connected with the stocking industry were factories for cotton-thread lace, silk throwing, and small linen articles, which provided employment for women and children. Osborne House in East Street was part of a factory complex which was a stocking weaving factory with offices, a lace manufactory in 1825, and home to the steam powered Patent Renewable Stocking Factory from 1860-1868.
