The Weavers’ Workshop recently received thanks from both an eleventh century noblewoman and a twenty-first century queen.

Lady Godiva, embodied by Pru Poretta, presented the Weavers with a Certificate of Appreciation for their contribution to the tapestry depicting Coventry’s history. The presentation ceremony for all the contributors to the tapestry was held at St Osburgs Hall.

The tapestry – all of it – is currently on display at St John’s Church on Spon Street. It is best to check ahead before making a special visit as it will have to be moved before the church is decorated for Christmas as it is where they display the Nativity scene.

The tapestry was too big to fit into the photo.

The Weavers also received a card from Buckingham Palace thanking them for the card they created for HRH Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday.
