The Brailsford Bayeux was a community stitch project which brought together the people of Brailsford & Ednaston in celebration and commemoration of the coronation of HRH Charles III. The project was commissioned by Brailsford and Ednaston Churches Together, facilitated by myself and supported by a host of volunteers.
The making of the 10.85 meter embroidery was beautifully documented by Richard Faulkener and Teresa Mikula in the videos below. We are incredibly grateful to them for their time, talent, patience and guidance. This a beautiful document and legacy enabling us to share the project with a wider audience and with future generations.
