So very impressed with the project and exhibition 'Stitches in Time' at The Vale and Downland Museum. Encouraging local people to stitch a series of iconic buildings in Wantage to produce both a record of their existence and a document of their changes of use across the years - fabulous idea!
This alongside the twenty samplers, some dating back to the 17th century, mostly donated by the Convent's stitching room. All now mounted and framed to protect them from exposure to light.
In addition a ready made resource for me to discover all the buildings of importance, old and new, in the town! Thank you Anne Griffiths and The Vale and Downland Museum :)
