Species list for Woodbastwick Churchyard
Altar kneeler in St Helen’s showing the nationally rare British race of the swallowtail butterfly, found in the wet fens of the Norfolk Broads. The Ranworth Rose emblem is entwined in a waterscape of fishes and the flowing leaves of water plants. The tapestry, made for the Millennium, was designed by Chris Springham and is 24-feet long and was stitched in 24 months by 24 people.
