> DESCRIPTION

My brother and I were born in London because my father was a lawyer there. But our descent, our interests and our joy was in the North Country'. This display explores the profound connections that Beatrix Potter’s artwork sustains with the Lake District and the part her lasting legacy has played in the preservation of this region and other parts of Britain’s heritage.
