The great-great-grandmother from Caistor-on-Sea is a member of a group of knitters from Great Yarmouth who create magnificent displays to raise money for charity.

She made the 'Knittingale' centrepiece to raise money for the three main hospitals in Norfolk:

  • Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital

  • The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust

  • James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The 92-year-old has now raised £50,000 for charity.

You can see Margaret's exhibition at The Forum until 11 June.
