The Tapestry was designed and painted onto canvas by the local artist Lois Taylor and was created as part of the 2005 Buckfastleigh Wool and Leather Festival.
It depicts various scenes of Buckfastleigh and was situated in the Methodist Church where many local residents and visitors of all ages enjoyed putting stitches in and gradually watching the pictures come to life during the Festival week.
The Tapestry contains around eighty-one thousand stitches and is framed and available to view during the Town Clerk’s Office opening hours from Monday to Friday 9.00am to 1.00pm in the Main Hall. A photograph of the Tapestry can be found on the Town Council page of this website.
