Saxon Cottage

These stunning pieces were put on display at Steyning Museum in September, 2010. They caused quite a stir. How could eight year old children produce such marvellous needlework, when some adults can hardly sew on a shirt button?

The children set out to embroider some of their favourite historic buildings in Steyning. They chose:

Saxon Cottage in Church Street
Old Market House in the High Street
Stone House in the High Street
St Andrew's Church

We thought these pieces should be shared with visitors to our web site as well. Maybe they will inspire more people to have a go - adults as well as children. Use the page numbers above or click 'More' below to see each piece in the collection.
