Embroidery

" I did basic embroidery and can probably mend a sock."

Grayson Perry

Hmmm Grayson, you might still have a little bit more to learn about it!

This embroidery can be seen in it's frame at Baddesley Clinton a moated NT property in Warwickshire.

It's well worth a visit. It has a long history and its roots go back to 975AD when a dwelling was first built on the site by a Saxon named Badde who cleared the area in The Forest of Arden. 

Parts of the current building date back to the 15th century and it was a place of secret Catholic worship during and after the Reformation. All fascinating stuff if you like your history.
