| Saint Blaise, the giant was introduced to the world on the 24th
March 2000. In a combined venture with the Thrupp Primary School and the Stroudwater Textile Trust with additional funding from the National Lottery the giant was commissioned to be included in a school project outlining the history of the local woollen industry. Saint Blaise as the Patron Saint of wool workers was chosen to be the centrepiece of a procession, which included music, song and dance almost exclusively devised by the children. |
