It is business as usual at the Quaker Tapestry Museum, despite the worst floods in Kendal in six decades.
‘The flood water travelled up the garden to the steps of the [Meeting] house as far as the front door at the New Road side of the building and half way up the car park at the Stramongate side. We were like a little island with a moat!’ Museum general manager Bridget Guest told the Friend.
The Quaker Tapestry Exhibition is closed for January as usual and reopens on 15 February.
