The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
I am proud to say I come from Liverpool, and when I heard about
the Tapestry I thought ‘I want to be a part of that!’ I chose to do a
tapestry of St. Mary’s as it is in the area where I grew up. As a child
I spent a lot of time in the school holidays playing hide and seek in
the churchyard with my friends, picking blackberries, and watching
weddings. There has been a church on the site since Saxon times,
and has been through many transformations from the Reformation
to repairs following World War II. It is a big part of Liverpool’s
history, and was mentioned in the Doomsday Book, and therefore
it has a place in representing Liverpool in 2008.
I am proud of being part of such a big project and part of a very
talented team of stitchers.”
