Kneeler to celebrate John’s years of service as Church Warden

In February 2020, I received a request from a parishioner in Pulborough. The lady, a friend of John ‘JAD’ Davison, Master at Berkhamsted 1960-1997, had been tasked with making and embroidering a kneeler to celebrate John’s years of service as Church Warden. The idea was to incorporate into the design a connection to the school and could we help in any way? A representation of the school crest was put forward and was experimented with on various materials, without much luck. A colours badge, of which we had a selection in the store was just the ticket. Posted to Pulborough, it was cut, edged and incorporated into the design. The completed kneeler is shown in the photo.
