Tæpper

Det er hvad Witney er kendt for!

Since the Middle Ages, Witney was famous for the manufacturing of blankets using water from the River Windrush which, so the story goes, was the secret of their quality.

The Oxfordshire Cotswolds town of Witney found fame and fortune during the medieval wool trade years and right up to 2002 there was one mill in Witney still producing the famous "Witney blankets". [1]
