THEY’RE BACK!
IPSWICH CHARTER WALL HANGINGS ON DISPLAY AT TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRE AFTER TRAVELS ABROAD

The Ipswich Charter Wall Hangings are on display at the Borough Councils Tourist Information Centre, in St Stephens Church, until March 29th 2008.

This is a marvellous opportunity to enjoy the hangings, which chronicle the history of Ipswich on 8 magnificent textile panels. Each highly detailed panel depicts 100 years in the history of Ipswich from the Vikings to the present day.

Having returned from an international tour including Arras (France), Jamestown Virginia and Ipswich Massachusetts the hangings may be viewed free of charge at the Tourist Information Centre, which is open Monday to Saturday 9.00 am to 5.00pm.

The Hangings are the creation of Isabel Clover, who was commissioned by Ipswich Arts Association as part of its contribution to mark the Millennium. More than 40 of her former City & Guilds students worked together to complete the work. A wide variety of textiles, appliqué and embroidery are included to make the Hangings a truly unique exhibition and record of the town’s history.

Isabels book “The Ipswich Charter Wall Hangings” and sets of commemorative postcards and a pictorial map are available at the Tourist Information Centre.
