Mother Louse Alewife: A 17th Century Historical Figure and Proprietor of Louse Hall near Oxford This evocative image captures Mother Louse Alewife, the last known woman in England to wear a ruff, in a moment of relaxation at her establishment, Louse Hall, near Oxford. The 17th century was a time of great change in England, and Mother Louse, with her distinctive ruff collar and traditional attire, represents an intriguing link to the past. The ruff, a high, starched collar worn around the neck, was a popular fashion accessory during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. By the 17th century, however, the ruff had fallen out of fashion, making Mother Louse a unique figure in her community. Her determination to hold onto this symbol of a bygone era speaks to her individuality and stubbornness, qualities that no doubt contributed to her enduring legend. In this print, Mother Louse is shown in a comfortable setting, enjoying a drink and a meal. The table before her is laden with food, suggesting a hearty meal, while a tankard sits in front of her, filled with ale or cider. The warm, inviting atmosphere of Louse Hall is further emphasized by the fireplace and the cozy chairs in the background. Despite the passage of time, Mother Louse Alewife remains an intriguing figure in British history. Her defiance of fashion trends and her role as a proprietor in a time when women had limited opportunities for economic independence make her a fascinating subject for historical study. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when ruffs were in vogue and Mother Louse ruled over Louse Hall near Oxford.
