The last set of pictures of the panels on the tapestry currently in the entrance to the Chapter House at Salisbury Cathedral. Each panel represents an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Video
Article 26: Everyone has the right to an education, elementary schools should be free and compulsory. Contributed from the Southampton City group.
Article 27: Everyone has the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community. Team effort this by Fay, Janet, Sharon, Sue and Gretel, members of the Romsey group.
Article 28: Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set out here can be fully respected. The third panel by our Regional Representative, Caroline Butler.
Article 29: Everyone has duties to the community. This is the second panel in the tapestry contributed by a refugee group, this time GARAS, the Gloucester Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers. GARAS offers support to those seeking asylum in Gloucestershire; welcoming them when they arrive; advocating for them in their daily struggles; supporting them if they face being sent back, as well as helping them adjust to their long term future if they are recognised as refugees.
Article 30: No one has the right to act in such a way as to destroy the rights and freedoms set in in this declaration. The fourth panel from the Southampton City group.

Hi Peter,
We were in the Cathedral the other day and specially visited the tapestry, it really did look stunning. Andy and i were talking about it and wondered if you could use the work you have done in summarising the 30 articles of the declaration in the weekly emails to produce something similar to accompany the tapestry. People can then read the detail and understand the significance of the art work in each panel. (Some art works are more obvious than others!)
Thank you for all the work emailing them out it really is worth publicising this art work.
Best wishes and Happy New Year
