Embroidery in St Bees Church


This is the new superfrontal recently dedicated in St Bees Priory Church. 
Several members of the church's embroidery group worked on the large and heavy frontal, but the beautiful and skilful embroidery on the superfrontal itself is the brainchild of just two of them, and the work, mostly, of one.  (Not me!). The Priory has other pieces of embroidery to look at if you are in the area, the Millenium wallhanging, and lots of seat cushions, etc, mainly in the sanctuary and the Lady Chapel. It's also an interesting church to visit for its history, and for two pieces of modern sculpture made specially for the church.
