The St Cuthbert Maniple Recreation Project Part I - The Origin Story

This is the origin story behind the St Cuthbert Maniple Recreation Project. We discuss the history of this embroidered early medieval maniple, who's studied it, why I couldn't get access to it and how this led to the development of the recreation project. The St Cuthbert maniple is a church vestment hand embroidered in gold and silk threads. It is worked in split stitch, stem stitch and two forms of goldwork surface couching. The maniple along with a matching stole were re-discovered in the tomb of St Cuthbert in Durham Cathedral, England, in 1827. Both were stitched by embroiderers in early medieval England, who were commissioned to make them by Queen AElfflaed (Ælfflæd). She wanted to give them as a present to the Bishop of Winchester but it's thought he never received them...
