She uses the skills she learnt from her mother to decorate the family’s clothing and furnishings. Winifred Willoughby Winifred has made this cap for her father, Sir Francis Willoughby. He dresses in fine clothes to show his wealth and power. Sir Francis Willoughby Winifred’s father, Francis Willoughby has spent a huge fortune building Wollaton Hall.
