This embroidery is very close to TSG member Norman Willis' heart. The Embroidery is composed of a number of separate parts of which the centrepiece is the Village Panel, which is nine ft long and three feet high. This panel contains over 130 separate pieces which have been assembled onto a background canvas; many buildings are reproduced, including churches and public houses and examples of Sunbury's fine domestic architecture. These are interspersed with local scenes, such as the Walled Garden and Sunbury Park, and also with a number of sporting activities. Embroideries of birds,plants and wildlife complete the panel. The completed Embroidery deserved accommodation purpose-built to display it to best advantage.  A site adjacent to The Walled Garden was selected and a suitable building designed, called The Sunbury Millenium Embroidery Gallery. Planning approval was obtained and funds raised for the building, which was recently completed and opened to the public. Having visited the Gallery to see the embroidery and The Walled Garden, I can thoroughly recommend a visit if you are in the neighbourhood. The embroidery is superb, the gardens delightful and the cream tea not bad either! For more information visit: www.sunburyembroidery.co.uk/index.htm
