The Christmas Crib

5 Nov 2022

You may remember last year that we had our 66 year old crib

refurbished. The crib was constructed by Seth Garmston in 1955

in memory of his son, Stewart, who had died at the age of 2 1⁄2

years.

This year, the figures in the crib had an away day during which

they all had a facelift. They won’t arrive back until next week but

Joseph has had a new hand fitted, the donkeys had their ears

repaired and the bull now has a new horn ... and all the chips in

the painted surfaces of the figures are refurbished.

The work was carried out by a relation of Sue Blyth, who, having

heard the story, offered to undertake the restoration free of

charge.
