Story

(acc. no. 3707)

You'll have heard of Wally Dugs, ceramic dogs found above 19th century fireplaces across the country, but have you heard of a Wally Cat? These more unusual ornaments were made in Stoke-on-Trent by Arthur Wood and belonged to the Museum's founder, Miss Barbara Fairweather M.B.E.

This pair formed part of the Museum's original collection; a real piece of our history!

The minimum donation to adopt this object is £10. Your adoption will last for two years.

After clicking Donate, please enter this amount before continuing. Donations less than this amount will still count towards our fundraising but will be considered a donation rather than an adoption.

From June 2023 anyone donating £50 or over will be recognised through their very own leaf on the redeveloped Museum's Tree of Sponsors!

When making your donation, you must tick the box that says; “I’m happy for Glencoe Folk Museum to keep in touch with me by email” so we can send you the digital adoption pack. Otherwise, we won’t know your contact details.

Please be assured that we will not send you further marketing materials unrelated to your adoption and you can opt out at any time.
