Summary

Pathe synopsis: At the impressive Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall, Yorkshire, we look at the fascinating collection of a well-known rabologist (or a collector of walking sticks). They come from all four corners of the earth, and include a witch-doctor’s ceremonial stick, an Algerian carved and painted one, and even one of twisted glass made in this country over 150 years ago.
