NEEDLEWORKERS in Bradford on Avon have seen the fruits of three years hard work go on public display.
More than 40 people were involved in the creation of a Bradford's millennium tapestry depicting 1,000 years of the town's history.
The 12 embroidered panels took 2,500 hours to complete and followed extensive historical research. They were designed by artist Jeanne Walpole.
Events shown include the building of Holy Trinity Church in 1150, riots at Westbury House in 1791 and the railway coming to the town in 1857.
The tapestry is on show at Bradford on Avon library until the end of the month.
Funding for the project included a £3,400 grant from the Millennium Heritage Lottery Fund.
Bradford on Avon Museum Society has produced a book, cost £3, recording the community project.
The next exhibition at the library is a display of historic views of Bradford 1917-1943 by William Herbert Allen, which starts on Tuesday.
