You should try and get a picture of one of the altar fronts Granny made. In fact, is that not one of them?

No, that isn’t one that Granny worked on. The one in the picture was bought by the VP family when the previous one was desecrated in an act of vandalism. There isn’t one at Godmanchester that she made from scratch as such. But many of them have been extensively repaired by taking the original embroidered panels and applying them to new material — the one visible in the background on the High Altar being one I think. There are several Churches around, though, that do have altar frontals made by Granny. A lot of the fine linen altar cloths were embroidered and trimmed with lace by Granny; and she made the Trinity cope.
