The Cirencester Millennium Embroidery presents the history of Cirencester over the last 2000 years, with different periods of history reflecting aspects of the town's social life in a series of twelve hexagonal embroidery panels.
It all started when Janet Langham wrote to the local newspaper suggesting that there be a Cirencester Embroidery to celebrate the Millennium. Angela Flexen, the designer, organiser and embroiderer then showed remarkable skill, industry and dedication in seeing this work of art to completion with the help of a determined team of skilled embroiderers.
The Embroidery is displayed at the Bingham Gallery and Conference Suite in Cirencester and is part of an annual exhibition open to the public over the summer period. Please contact the Town Council for further information or to arrange a private viewing.
A booklet is available describing each of the twelve panels, its content and embroiderers from the Council's Customer Information Point.
