Eileen Tomlin, Reader in the parish of Malvern Link with Cowleigh said:

“One set was knitted by a church-based Knitting and Sewing group, one knitted by a lady in Worcester, and sewn up by a friend and her 95-year-old mother, and one by several people who are neighbours or friends.

Knitted nativity setIt's been a real community effort, involving people from different areas of Malvern and we are immensely grateful to all those who helped in any way with this project. Each set was given to a local care home where they could be displayed for the residents.”
