Thomas Lester (1791-1867)[1] was a prominent lace merchant in the rural lacemaking industry in Bedfordshire, establishing a Lace Manufactory business which survived until the onset of machine-made lace in the early 20th Century.

Lester's influence was in securing innovative new designs, and many of these are preserved in the collections of the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery and Museum. Today's lacemakers are working with patterns from the museum to preserve and perpetuate the designs.[2]

A number of designs, inscribed with Lester's name, are reproduced in some of the standard works on Bedfordshire Lace, e.g. by Barbara M Underwood[3].
