The Millennium is celebrated in artistic form with many of Ferring's residents and societies creating tapestries to depict Ferring in West Sussex, England, at the turn of the century
The Harris Tapestry consists of 8 individual panels. Each panel depicts a different area of the Isle of Harris. The tapestry is all handmade and only local natural fibres have been used.
The Embroidery took 3 years to make and was ready in time for the Millennium, the three panel embroidery is displayed at Christ Church in Prince Edward's Road, Lewes.
It is a tiny place near Dorchester with a stream running between the road and the cottages. The country round is rich in the turf-covered tombs of an immemorial ancestry.
The Millennium Tapestry was designed and made by all the children at Slaley First School, and was completed in the summer of 2000. It was exhibited at Alnwick Castle and Hexham Abbey, and now hangs in the School Hall.
