Embroidery of The Patterdale Nativity by Ann Macbeth in St Patrick's Church, Patterdale in the Lake District.

---

This embroidery, the Patterdale Nativity, was created by Ann Macbeth (1875–1948). She studied and then taught at the Glasgow School of Art in the late nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries and lived in Patterdale from 1921 to 1948. The embroidery shows Jesus in a cradle with the Virgin Mary and Angel Gabriel against a recognisable background of Patterdale and its surrounding fells. The embroidery is loaned by Glasgow Corporation for display in the church each summer.
