Percy Lidgey and Heart of Conflict - radio interview

A huge thank you to Debbie McCrory of BBC Cornwall who featured Heart of Conflict on her show in December 2016. Here's the story of Percy Lidgey, the Redruth rugby player and mine carpenter who died on the Western Front in March 1918.

Embroidery group visit to the V&A

Great to visit the V&A Museum today with our embroidery group from the Masbro Centre, Hammersmith. We went to see Opus Anglicanum - an exhibition showcasing English embroidery from the early Middle Ages.
Our volunteer Katrina Williams has been working hard at the Masbro Centre with the group on various designs over the past months.  Katrina here pictured far right: huge thanks, Katrina - and to Martha Romero, group organiser.
