The Ros Tapestry – Irish History in Embroidery
The Ros Tapestry is, as the website devoted to the tapestry states, a “tale told in thread.”
Conceived in 1998 by Dr. Paul Mooney of the parish of New Ross in County Wexford on the east coast of Ireland, the tapestry tells of the history of the Port of New Ross and its surrounding area, especially from the time of William Marshall and the Norman invasions.
