Saxon Kings Embroidery Talks
- All Saints Church
- 27 Jun, 2025 - 24 Oct, 2025
Join one of the intimate group talks at All Saints Kingston about the stunning life sized contemporary embroideries, part of the Seven Saxon Kings Embroidery Project. Talks take place on June 27th, August 30th, September 27th and October 24th.
Seven Kings, including the first “Kings of England” are traditionally thought to have been crowned at Kingston Upon Thames. Before All Saints Church was built, the site was an important estate of the West Saxon Kings and host to Royal coronations. Our talk will tell this significant heritage story through the series of seven spectacular and unique embroidery panels (four of which are currently displayed) touching on the Saxon history of the area, the reigns of the Kings and characters depicted, and the incredible talent that has gone into the design and execution of the panels themselves.
