Two more Pat Earnshaw lots are listed at Kerry Taylor, and includes four items.
Lot 443 – four items. One is a lappet set with connecting band. It is a pieced lace with a fond chant ground, hence it might be a Brabant piece which uses similar grounds. Possibly Devon, although I haven’t seen this ground in early Devon before.  Also included are two early English needlelace borders. The last piece is is a lappet scarf, machine made with heavy gimp.
Lot 444 – Several pieces including Brussels needlelace applique skirt panel on droschel ground, other applique and embroidered net pieces.
Lot 407 – Not from the Earnshaw collection, but an interesting embroidered net dress c. 1825.
