The Broderers

Durham Cathedral Broderers were founded in 1978 by Mrs Phyllis Richardson, who convened the group until 2002. The Broderers undertake repair and renewal work for the Cathedral, and have completed a number of major projects commissioned by Chapter, and designed by such distinguished experts such as Leonard Childs and Malcolm Lochhead. Notable examples of their outstanding work are to be found in the Nine Altars Chapel, but many other contributions to the beauty of the Cathedral may be seen and enjoyed by a discerning visitor.

The Broderers are now led by Tracy A. Franklin, a freelance embroiderer based in Fowlers Yard, Durham City. The future promises new work for the Broderers and the Cathedral too.

For more information, please contact Tracy A. Franklin via the Chapter Office.
