A unique representation of a thousand years of Staffordshire's history, embroidered in silk, wool, cotton, metallic thread and leather, one panel for each century of the Millennium. This inspired work was created solely by Mrs Sylvia Everitt of Rawnsley, near Cannock, who made these embroideries over five years of dedicated work as her gift to the people of Staffordshire in commemoration of the Millennium. She toured the county for several years giving lectures about her embroideries before donating them to the Lichfield Heritage Centre where they are now permanently displayed in a specially designed Gallery. For her work Sylvia was awarded the MBE in 2002.
