Welcome back to the Cloth Cultures podcast series. Join Amber Butchart as she explores the Lancashire Textile Gallery, a new online resource that brings together objects and artefacts held by museums, archives and manufacturers from across the county.

In this episode, Amber will be delving into Opus Anglicanum, a form of English medieval embroidery that was prized around the world for its skill and artistry. Amber will be joined by Alison Cooper and Margery Dunderdale from Towneley Hall, to talk about how this historic house in Burnley, Lancashire has a set of remarkable Medieval vestments in their collection. Later in this episode we will also hear from researcher Esther Rollison who is working on a commission for the Lancashire Textile Gallery.
