About

Visitors to the Nicholson Museum & Art Gallery have another chance to see the fabulous Staffordshire Millennium Embroideries created by Sylvia Everitt to celebrate one thousand years of history. Inspired by the Bayeaux tapestry, the project was a labour of love for Sylvia that took her five and a half years to complete.

Each of the ten panels tells the story of 100 years in the life of the county, beginning with the eleventh century and ending with the twentieth. They depict the achievers and innovators , the famous and infamous, and events momentous and mundane, in the lives of the ancestors of modern day Staffordshire.

The embroideries were on show early in 2020 when the exhibition was unexpectedly cut short by the first Covid lockdown. They are now on display again in the Nicholson Art Gallery.

The Nicholson Museum & Art Gallery is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday (except BANK HOLIDAYS).

Admission is free
