The one hundred and fifteen kneelers that grace Saint Winifred's
are all hand-embroidered, mostly by ladies of the village, to
designs by Pamela Tickell. The project took thirteen years, from
1982 to 1995. The majority of those in the chancel and nave are
memorials to individuals whose initials and dates are shown on
the lower side. However, thirty-four in the nave have heraldic
designs, related to all the crowned monarchs who have reigned
during the life of the church. There is a book at the back of
the church, containing the key to the memorial initials and heraldic
designs.
