About

On Monday 8th July 2024 Dianne Excell will be presenting her latest talk at the monthly ‘Monday Fellowship’ meeting entitled “A Village in Stitches”, all about the Heaton Millennium Tapestry.

Originally conceived as a small tapestry in which everyone in one church’s congregation could take part, it grew to a 53-foot-long community project which crossed the boundaries between churches and faiths. This timeline, in 357 individual pieces, tells the history of the urban village, just 2 miles from the centre of Bradford, in many styles of needlework.
