These vestments were made for Worcester Cathedral by the City of Worcester DFAS Heritage Volunteers, under the leadership of Carolyn Lewis-Barclay. They were finished earlier this year, and tragically Carolyn has since died.
A service of remembrance and dedication was held in Worcester Cathedral at the beginning of November 2008, attended by the National Head of NADFAS Volunteers, Kath Hollands, West Mercia Chairman, Pat Harries and members of the City of Worcester DFAS and Friends of the Cathedral, who paid for the materials.
In the pictures the vestments are being modelled by the Dean, and the photos were taken by the Cathedral Archivist, Christopher Guy.

| NADFAS Heritage Volunteers help to conserve our heritage both in Britain and in parts of Europe.
Conservation and preservation of our heritage are tremendous burdens on the limited resources of museums,
National Trust properties, historic houses, libraries and gardens. Volunteers help them in non-specialist
but vital ways by caring for collections, recording documents, guiding and stewarding.
Heritage Volunteers help to keep them accessible for all.
An ongoing programme of training is organised at national and local levels. Workshops are arranged with invited experts lecturing on specialised subjects. If you are interested in joining a Heritage Volunteer Group contact your Society Chairman or visit the contacts page to get in touch with the Area Heritage Volunteers representative. |
