The Radclyffe bed at Ordsall Hall

In 2015 Ordsall Hall in Salford raised funds by offering the opportunity for supporters to have their name embroidered on a bedspread to be displayed on the Radclyffe bed.  The bed, heavily carved with many animals, was made in the 16th century and can now be seen proudly wearing its embroidered bedspread.

As part of a project by the Guild's North West Region some of our members contributed towards the embroidery on the bedspread  - the photo isn't easy to read as the Hall is quite dark - but the members are Christine Bardsley, Ann Cornes, Chris Harris, Pat Manchee.

The bedspread is a beautiful achievement in a very historic setting, and well worth the effort of a visit.
