| The completed tapestry comprises many pieces of
needlework hand crafted by Prudhoe folk. Here, Rita Watson applies the final stitch
to complete 'Prudhoe's Tapestry 2000'. It was officially unveiled on 23 June 2000
and is now on permanent exhibition at Prudhoe Waterworld.

| In July 2000, the tapestry was exhibited at Hexham Abbey as part of 'Celebrating Tynedale'.
