Fulham Palace are very happy to have been loaned the Saints of London Cope by the Bishop of London. Here's a bit of information about it.
The Saints of London Cope was commissioned by the Bishop of London the Right Revd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres, to mark the 1400th Anniversary of the Re-foundation of the Diocese of London under Saint Mellitus and the building of St Paul's Cathedral in 604. It was designed and made by Jacqueline Binns.
The Cope was worn for the first time on the 15th October 2004 as part of the celebration of the 1400th Anniversary, at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London.
