KNUTSFORD
2000
The Knutsford Tapestry is a great achievement. Hand stitched by
Knutsford citizens - with more than 6 million stitches and an amazing
52 miles of wool, the tapestry measuring 40ft in 3 sections is an
impressive sight. Many of Knutsford's houses, shops and buildings
are depicted along with street scenes, Knutsford's previous MP Martin
Bell, the Penny Farthing Race a once a decade event and a sign indicating
"Bugs Life" to be showing at the Cinema.
The idea for the tapestry began in 1997 with Jennifer Holbrook
and has now materialised into something already compared with the
Bayeux Tapestry which depicts the time period of William the Conqueror.
With so much changing in the town the Knutsford Tapestry has already
become a historical record of the history and architecture in Knutsford
in the year 2000.
