Textile Exhibit

Incorporating over thirty pieces from the Agecroft Hall collection, the new exhibit "Woven into English Society: Textiles and Embroidery from the 16th and 17th Centuries" strives to portray the importance of embroidered textiles in everyday Elizabethan and Stuart life.  The pieces, including everything from delicately stitched gloves and purses to magnificently woven tapestries, offer a glimpse into the colorfully created world of the late 1500s and the 1600s.
