In brief: the National Trust's Hardwick Hall has a "collaborative artwork" celebrating women, where people are invited to stitch in famous names. Someone stitched in JK Rowling and, inevitably, someone else soon stitched over it – the only name so desecrated. Now someone else has removed the stitching-over to restore the Rowling name…and the Trust is "deeply disappointed".
