Mary produced a vast number of needlework panels using contemporary published illustrations as source material and thirty-seven mounted examples, which comprise what is known as the ‘Marian Hanging’. These needlework panels are part of the British Library's major exhibition, ‘Elizabeth & Mary: Royal Cousins, Rival Queens’ which runs until 20th February 2022.
