Embroiderers

The Sunbury Millennium Embroidery was designed by John Stamp from an idea by David Brown, it serves as a permanent commemorative record celebrating this ancient riverside village and its community at the turn of the millennium.

The embroidery work was overseen by Chief Embroiderer Pam Judd and involved over 140 local embroiderers of varying skill levels and ages. The final work is the result of over 100,000 hours of careful and dedicated effort.

In June 2001, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited Sunbury Walled Garden to view the embroidery and meet with the many people who created it. In November 2002 the work was on display at the Palace of Westminster.
