This is a small segment from the Bayeux Tapestry embroidered by monks in an Anglo-Saxon workshop around 1068 using linen cloth and various colours of wool. It measures 70 metres long and 50 centimetres wide and retraces all the events of the conquest of England by William the Conqueror.   At that time warriors and soldiers were covered from head to foot in chain mail and it was extremely difficult on the battlefield to distinguish between friend and foe. So a means of identification evolved using different markings on their shields - and heraldry as we know it began.

Our small company enjoys the proximity of another famous battlefield, Culloden, overlooking the Moray Firth. We are proud of the reputation we have earned making high quality hand embroidered products, and although we use quite different techniques to those used in the Bayeux Tapestry, we know that everything we make will become a treasured heirloom for future generations.

We research carefully the origins of each surname from our extensive reference library and once you have decided which product you want, we make that product just for you. Every embroidery is made using the gold and silver metallic threads, gold and silver fabrics, and cotton embroidery threads on a background of felt, tartan, satinised cotton or dupion silk with just enough padding to give a wonderful three dimensional effect.
