Making the frame

Steve Lamont had been a fighter pilot in the USAF, then learned woodwork in the Barnsley Workshop in Froxfield. He lived in the 2000s in the cottage at East Meon's Court House and set up his own workshop in Ropley. In 2008 he was commissioned to build a frame for the Millennium Tapestry which would also incorporate hanging and storage space for the vicar's vestry. Most of the photographs were taken by Chris Warren – please acknowledge if used.
