Coventry Cathedral: The women who wove the largest tapestry in the UK - A Micro Photography Exhibiti

Heritage Open Day: A micro exhibition of Archive Photography of some of the French women who wove and bought Graham Sutherland’s design to life.
Runs throughout the festival. Open during Cathedral opening hours: Monday to Saturday 1000-1600, Sunday 1200-1500. Measuring 23 metres tall the tapestry at Coventry Cathedral is the second largest tapestry in the world.

The twelve weavers were occupied for over two years.
