This is one of the eight panels
They are each 1.1m x 1.35m
(That's 43in x 53in)
Side-by-side they are the length of a bus!
Thanks to a huge single donation the Friends of the Greenwich Embroideries have reached their fundraising target.
The archival frames have been ordered and from 12th December 2009 all eight Embroideries will now be on permanent display at the Greenwich Heritage Centre...for ever.
This breathtaking work was painstakingly created
by a team of highly talented people over a four year
period
Eight large panels are astonishing in their detail, the
richness of their colours, and in their historical accuracy
They cover two thousand years of history in a unique area of London
whose name is known around the world - Greenwich
