Artist pageBeryl Dean MBE1911 - 2001 Festival of Britain About Beryl Dean MBE Beryl Dean was a leading exponent of modernist design in ecclesiastical embroidery; she introduced an entirely new approach to a field hitherto limited to a traditional Victorian style. Her most notable works included five large panels for St George's Chapel, Windsor, which were made between 1969 and 1974 and, in 1977, she designed the Silver Jubilee mitre, stole and cope for the Bishop of London. The cope was particularly spectacular, depicting 73 London churches with St Paul's rising up behind them, entirely embroidered in metal thread. The same year she completed the Dean and Canon's cope for the enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
