"Family footage shot in the grounds of a large house in Moorside; 1925. Some children and their nanny play on the lawn. A group of adults are seen having afternoon tea outside in the garden. Also includes shots of a young boy doing somersaults on a set of gymnast's rings. The camera remains stationary and several adults run into shot, in quick succession, and do a forward somersault using the rings. Even the nanny, who is in full uniform, has a turn" (NWFA Online Database).
