Residents of Barrow-upon-Humber are set to tell their story in a unique way: a hand-stitched tapestry capturing the village’s history from the Domesday Book up to the present day.
The tapestry will be a celebration of the people, places and moments that have shaped Barrow over the centuries, brought to life by local volunteers with a love of art, heritage and community spirit.
The creative project, led by Barrow Parish Council, has been awarded £5,014 from North Lincolnshire Council’s Cultural Futures fund.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is such a wonderful idea – a creative way to celebrate Barrow’s history while bringing people together to learn new skills and share stories.
“Every stitch will tell a piece of the village’s story and it’s great to see residents taking the lead in creating something so special and lasting.
“These things are important to people across North Lincs and will encourage communities to thrive.”
