A turbine comprising:

• a turbine nozzle support ring having a generally axially facing first surface;
• a plurality of turbine nozzle segments each having at least one stator vane and a radially inwardly extending inner rail having a second surface in axial opposition to said first surface;
• a seal comprised of a plurality of seal segments each depending from a side surface of said inner rail remote from said second surface and extending radially inwardly of said inner rail for sealing engagement against said first surface to form a seal therewith;
• each said seal segment including a first plate, an overlay of a woven metallic cloth and a distal margin covered by said cloth and engaging said first surface;
• and
• a plurality of support brackets extending along one side of said seal segments to support said seal bodies on a high pressure side thereof, said margins of said seal bodies being flexible and preloaded to seal against said first surface.
