The creation of the carpets
The designer was Tom Mor, who also designed the tapestry of Prysten House Plymouth, Plymouth, adventurers Virginia (London) trim, and was the consultant in the tapestry of Jersey Liberation (St Helier, Channel Islands) and the tapestry of Plympton (Plympton, Devon). The panel was Mor investigated by Tom, Tom Maddock, Presswell Paul and Freda Simpson. Chief tapissiers Roncarelli and Harvey were Joan Ryan. A New World Tapestry website has been developed from December Early 2008 and will include 120 pages, showing all full panels.
Research for the New World twenty-four upholstery panels began in 1980. Tom Mor was accompanied by Tom Maddock, a friend retired from Ivybridge. Over the months that traveled hundreds of miles together, the two hundred research sixty-four persons to be appointed in the tapestry. Heraldry expert Paul Buckfastleigh Presswell identified all the coats of arms of the people, schools and companies involved. The result has been to create the tapestry with a library of files for each person and a collection of reference books of great use to researchers, scholars and teachers.
Two hundred and sixty four shields of arms run along wallpaper borders top and bottom along its entire length, interspersed with illustrations of the same number of flowers of herbs, medicinal plants, trees and shrubs. The latter are shown because the settlers are ointments and nostrums with them on their voyages and plant hunters returning with things like potato and snuff.
All flowers and flowers represented were taken from nature by Tom Mor, who studied with a glass watchmaker. He was helped from the early days of Freda Simpson, of Plymouth, who was passionately interested in herbs and natural remedies of age. She identified and gave more than 230 specimens of flowers in the years that Mor lived with his wife and family in Plymouth. He later moved to Cambridge could complete the series of 264 drawings the help of Clive King and Caroline Lawes of Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Lady Jane Renfrew of Lucy Cavendish College, Alison Davies, Monica Stokes and Edna Norman.
Staplers
Tom Mor could not have seen his paintings brought to life without the help of his friends and the knowledge of dedicated tapissiers. When the first point was presented Tapestry in the New World in 1980, the team Prysten House numbered 20. At the time of the last point was made in March 2000 the number had increased tapissiers to 256 with the addition of eight other centers. In Devon there was a second at HMS Drake Plymouth (the Royal Navy panel), Ivybridge, Chillington, Exeter, Bideford, Totnes and Castle of Tiverton. Tapestry Dorset center was at the Guildhall in Lyme Regis and it was there that the Great gardeners and herbalists panel was sewn.
The first stitch was made oblique Gobelins September 26, 1980 in Prysten House in Plymouth, by the Honorable U.S. Ambassador. Kingman Brewster. The coat of arms of His Excellency's predecessor, Pilgrim leader William Brewster, appears 1620 panel Mayflower.
The last stitch slanting Gobelin was made by His Royal Highness Prince Charles on March 3, 2000 in the Garden Room of your house Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. Most appropriately, his interest in history and a willing gardener himself, the prince put his point of gold wool the date of the 1642 Great Gardeners and herbalists Panel.
The points have also been added by HM the Queen, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal and His Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester.
