This flannel bedcover was made in about 1890 by Mrs Jones of Tyn Hendre, Llanidloes for her daughter Jane Beedle. Jane died in November 1942 and is buried at Cefn Chapel graveyard, Glynbrochan, Llanidloes.
This brickwall style bedcover measures 2055 x 2005 mm and is made of Welsh wool flannel in plain weave and twill – suiting samples and the red, green and black flannels being manufactured in the area at that time. There are stripes, checks and herringbone patterns. The reverse consists of four pieces of maroon wool and cotton mix fabric. It has been hand quilted in a black cotton thread.
