On Sunday, 7th January 2024 at All Saints Church, Kingston, RW Bro Charles Aspinell, Assistant Grand Master, accompanied by RW Bro Lionel Mee Provincial Grand Master for Sussex and his Deputy, VW Bro Mark Donovan, together with a contingent of Sussex brethren and their wives, attended the Epiphany Carol Service followed by the Dedication and unveiling of three more Embroidered Tapestries in the Church’s Seven Saxon Kings Embroidery Project.
The Congregation of more than 300, was headed by the Deputy Mayor of Kingston, Councillor Richard Thorpe, with the Rev Joe Moffat, Vicar of All Saints Church officiating.
After the Carol Service everyone moved to the East wing of the church where the three new Embroideries depicting Edmund, Eadred and Eadwig were Dedicated by the Rev Joe Moffat and unveiled by the Deputy Mayor.
Following our having donated and presented the first of these embroideries depicting King Athelstan in September 2021, this brings to four the number of embroideries now in situ. Fund-raising is continuing to enable the remaining three - depicting Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr and Ethelred - to be completed, and which the Church hopes for completion of the Project within the next year or two.
