The "sea" of the frontal continues into the kneelers and washes over sand to the land.
The kneelers measure eighteen feet wide and illustrate the map of the coastline with the towns of Hartlepool, South Shields and Whitby, where Hild raised churches, commemorated.
The frontal and kneelers were worked by the Durham Broderers using a combination of traditional canvas work (needlepoint) techniques, quilting, appliqué and surface embroidery.
