Size Matters? Seize Our Moment Then for The Prestonpans Tapestry

They say Glory is but a Passing Cloud ..

So we should not be overly surprised that south of the Borders a stunning attempt to stitch their way to maximum length is being funded by the Lottery and supported by many a volunteer. All to be completed by the Olympic Games in 2012.

So that gives our own Prestonpans tapestry just a wee moment in history where we can [we believe] legitimately claim to be the longest tapestry in the world @ 104 metres [+ 2 extra apocraphal metres to be strictly accurate!]



Seems the Apocalypse had it on us until sections got lost, but all's fair in love and the apocalypse we assume! And Bayeux, Overlord and the Quakers are way shorter.

Further details of the Thames Tapestry are available
