St Lawrence’s Church was built in the late 11th Century in sight of the Castle at the opposite end of Boroughgate, the main street of the new Norman town of Appleby. Lady Anne Clifford's tomb is in the north-east corner of the church.

The Athelstan Tapestry panels will be displayed and stitched in St Lawrence's Church 9.30am - 4pm on Saturday 19th.

At 11:45 a.m., there will be a presentation by Ursula Hurst the artist from Hilton, who illustrated the panels, and Phillipa Turnbull, the historic embroidery specialist, who will be creating the embroideries with over 100 local volunteers in her Appleby studio.

Also in St Lawrence's Church, there will be a new permanent display case featuring Lady Anne Clifford in costume, showing a young Lady Anne in replica court dress from an early 17th century portrait belonging to her descendant.
