A LEADING clergyman opened an embroidery exhibition in the region over the weekend.
The Archbishop of York, Dr David Hope, played host to the It's A Stitch Up exhibition, at Bishopthorpe Palace, in York, which featured historic and traditional embroidery techniques.
It was the third year that members of the City of York branch of the Embroiderer's Guild held the event at the palace, which was open to the public on Saturday and yesterday.
Two dolls - Querkus and Roxanne - were on display during the open days as mascots for a fundraising campaign for the guild's new centre, in Manchester.
Visitors also had the chance to roam around the grounds of the palace and buy specialist materials at various stalls.
