The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Hullavington, Wiltshire
Back to photographThis information is from the book Wiltshire Collections by John Aubrey and John Jackson, published by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society* in 1862.This text written by John Jackson, in the 1860s.
"Another object of antiquity which Aubrey might have noticed, is a very curious piece of mediaeval embroidery, originally a cope, now used as a pulpit cloth. On a brown satin ground are stitched various embellishments worked in gold and silver thread. In the centre is a representation of our Saviour on the Cross, with an angel on each side receiving the blood in a chalice. The rest is covered with figures of Saints, cherubim full of eyes, fleurs de lys, &c. [See Archaeol. Journal, I. 330.]"(A cope is a long cloaklike vestment worn by a priest or bishop in ceremonies and processions.)
