The Master Richard Excell visited Axminster Carpet factory to see the developments of their Axminster Museum celebrating some of the early Axminster carpets of the 18^th Century that were found in many of the Royal Palaces.  Many have been lovingly restored and are in daily use.

The Museum found a copy of the Woolmens Rug that was presented to HRH The Princes Royal during her year as Master and on her visit to the factory.
