Salisbury Cathedral

Rebecca Bissonnet, a conservator from the BBC TV programme The Repair Shop, has been carrying out conservation work on altar frontals from Salisbury Cathedral. The designs were made combining machine and hand-sewn techniques. One of these (pictured) was made in the 1980s by Jane Lemon and the Sarum Group Embroiderers Guild. Ms Bissonnet, who was brought in a few years ago to assess the collection and make a plan, has been checking wear and tear, cleaning, and repairing the frontals
