So to fill the gap, I must share these photos and work with you.
The photo is of Wells Cathedral, the work is by the Sarum group and is Designed by Jane Lemon. Jane is a wonderful and gifted person, and I have been so fortunate to have worked with her on a number of occasions. She is a real inspiration. Jane and the Sarum group were commissioned to produce a number of embroideries by Wells to celebrate the millennium. The embroideries are wonderful, and many of them are on show, but obviously behind glass so difficult to photogragh.
The modern church embroideries of the Sarum Group compare favourably with those held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - under Opus Anglicanum. this photo is part of the Butler Bowden cope held by the Museum. Unfortunately not visible at the moment. You can see some of the work I have done with students in the past if you click on this link. - Students work

Hi Maggie,
The links don't seem to be working for the Opus Anglicanum pieces....
thought you would like to know.
Thanks Dorothy.
On the "students work" -- the pages links within that-- no longer work, because BECTa did not have enough free webspace for all the images and hosted them on the University web. Sadly, the University has updated, but not linked the links. Sorry. Hope you can still enjoy the BECTa pages though. I still have the original documentation available if you still wish to see it. Just let me know.
Maggie H.
