Following the Heritage Lottery funded restoration of the Ledbury Masters'

House, 2015 saw the launch of the Masters' House "bunting" project. The aim to create a sewn pennant representing every single tradesperson involved with the restoration. Volunteers from across the Ledbury community, including the Ledbury&District U3A and local schools, have been involved with their creation.

Out of a total of 360, 320 or so have been completed, and these have been professionally backed and hung (Photos attached).

Their first outing, with the pennants all strung together, was at Ledbury Community Day, on June 11th, where they were exhibited in the Master's House library

A "Pennants' Party" celebration, for all those who contributed to this sterling effort took place on July 12th (group photo -in next email)

There are still around 40 pennants remaining to be completed, to reach the target number, and further volunteers will be very welcome. It is envisaged that the bunting will be displayed in the Master' s House for some time to come, for all to enjoy.

A recent visitor to the library explained that he actually worked for the firm that had carried out the groundworks for the Master's House. His friend, T, who has sadly died, was involved with the pennant project. The visitor was really pleased to be able to take a photograph of T's piece of bunting for her widow - demonstrating that T is not forgotten - remembered in perpetuity! As will be the case for all pieces and their creators.

Thanks to all who have been involved with this tremendous project
