The Bells of London

I bought a second embroidery kit when I visited Taylors bellfoundry last year, and had the noble intention of making it up as a gift for the bellringers at Stepney church (mentioned in the Oranges and Lemons rhyme). The band celebrated its 10th anniversary in May, and it would have been lovely to present their gift then - but it wasn't ready. Now it will be a New Year gift instead!

The design, by Chris Berry who works at the foundry, included pictures of four churches - I added a fifth (top right), representing the tower at Stepney.
