Abington

The Abington collection is made up of history objects that tell the story of Abington, the surrounding park and community. This is a growing collection and includes objects relating to the story of the manor house as a home, an asylum and a museum. Paintings of people living in the house provide a glimpse into the status of the families who lived there. Objects relating to the use of the park include flags and programmes celebrating the local importance of the park and events that took place here. Businesses are remembered and include shoes made by an Abington factory. The collection is open to donations and is governed by a policy, which helps to ensure that the collection is relevant to visitors.
