Last Invasion Tapestry

A community embroidery about 100 feet (30 meters) long that tells the story of the French landing near Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, in 1797, the last invasion of mainland Britain. It was commissioned as a permanent legacy of the invasion's bicentenary commemorations in 1997, designed by Elizabeth Cramp with three embroidery advisers, and stitched by 77 local people over four years. It is on permanent display in a purpose-built gallery attached to the library in Fishguard Town Hall.
