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.
