Freedom Scrolls and Illuminated Addresses are produced by hand by expert craftsman in the finest tradition of mediaeval manuscripts. Usually written and illustrated on vellum or hand-made paper, Freedom Scrolls range from calligraphy only through to highly decorative formats such as the one shown here.

They may have a leather backing and be tied with ribbon and presented in a suitable casket, either made from timber (see below) or silver and suitably engraved and decorated. Alternatively, the manuscript can be presented mounted and framed.

Scribes Plus will produce a rough sketch of the scroll for approval prior to starting the work. The calligraphy and illustration is carried out at our base at Hawkesyard Hall, once the home of Dominican monks who had their own
scriptorium there.
