| Description: A temporary Derbyshire well dressing display traditionally made from flowers and other vegetation pressed into clay held in a wooden frame but now often utilising stones, beads, fabric etc. The dressing comprised three adjacent panels styled as stained glass lancet windows, mainly in blues and reds. In the centre was a pale yellow cross with a golden sun above and at the head of each side panel was a church bell tolling the arrival of peace. Across the foot was a display of red poppies with the inscription at the centre in white capital lettering. Glossary |
