Blackwell Parish residents have collaborated to knit, crochet, loom and rag rug poppies to creative their own yarn version of ‘Blood swept Lands and Seas of Red’ inspired by the iconic poppy installation by Paul Cummings.

The poppy installation will be exhibited for public viewing outside St. Werburghs Church in Old Blackwell. The church will be open throughout these times and warmly invites people to visit the local remembrance history displays curated by parish historian Tony Mellors as part of the heritage project ‘Home Truths’. Teas, cakes and a free drop-in craft table will also be open on the day. For more information visit the Greater Creative Facebook page (opens in a new window).
