Magna Carta Pennants
In late 2014 a selection of local community groups
and societies were approached and asked if they
would create a Magna Carta inspired pennant for
the Museum to exhibit in 2015. The response was
overwhelming. 8 groups and 1 individual answered
the call, producing a beautiful range of embroidered
pennants that were then exhibited in the United
Church pop-up exhibition. The groups represented
included the Trumps Green Women’s Institute, the
Runnymede branch of the National Association
of Decorative Fine Arts Association, both the local
Methodist and Parish churches, the Egham Residents’
Association and the Staines U3A. All nine pennants
have been accessioned into the Museum’s permanent
collection.
