Embroidered window seat cushions

In 2000 needlewomen from Upper Thames NADFAS embroidered seat cushions to sit on top of newly installed window seats in the State Rooms of Lydiard House.

They created cushions for the Library, Dining Room, Drawing Room and State Bedroom, drawing their inspiration from decorative motifs in the apartments and the St.John Coat of Arms.
