AN embroiderer who has returned to Chester-le-Street after working at Hampton Court Palace is to return to London to be made a Freeman of the city.
Tracy Franklin, 34, spent 14 years working for the Royal School of Needlework in London. Now she lives in Wesley Terrace and has set up a business creating commissioned embroideries and tapestries.
But on November 14 she will return to the capital to be made a Freeman of the City at a ceremony in London's Guildhall, after being nominated by The Worshipful Company of Glovers.
