Anne
made all the costumes for the whole of the Bishop's Men army. Anne is at the
extreme left of the group. She started making costumes when she was a school
girl at Grangefield Grammar School where she took on the responsibility of
making and sewing all the costumes for a number of school plays. Each play
had roughly twenty actors. |

All
the costumes here were made by Anne. She is standing in the front row just to
the right of centre. Adam Greatrix is kneeling on her right and Simon
Greatrix is second from the extreme left of the group. |

This
is a sampler made by Anne. It measures 76 cm x 45 cm. It took her 25 years to
complete. Every stitch had to be made under a magnifying glass and a
magnifying glass is needed to see them. There are around 500000 stitches in
this sampler. When Anne was within a few stitches of completing the top
border at its right hand side she found that she was one stitch out. After
several days searching, a mistake was found at the left hand end of the
border. I suggested that no-one would ever notice the mistake but she said
that she would know. All 10000 stitches in the top border were removed and
the mistake corrected. |
