| Brief description | Cradle and layette for a newborn baby. |
| Object history | Patricia was born in India in 1916 (her parents were stationed there while her Father was in the army) and died after five days (she was both frail and had spina bifida). Her parents packed her cradle and layette into a case and sent it back to the family home in Cornwall. They were next found in 1983, when her brother was cleaning the house. |
