Description

Kneelers is a charming history of the folk art of embroidering church kneelers, tracing their evolution from their beginnings in the 1930s to the present day.

Featuring beautiful full-colour images, the book showcases the quirky artistry and varied motifs that have characterised church kneelers in the twentieth century, including local fauna and flora, cricket, dragons, and post-war tributes.

With its personal stories of the people who have practised and advanced the art form, Kneelers is a wonderful commemoration of what happens when communities come together to celebrate their history and environment.
