Description
On April 3, 1817, a cobbler in Almondsbury, Gloucestershire, England, encountered a seemingly distraught young woman dressed in foreign clothing and speaking an incomprehensible language. The cobbler’s wife took the stranger to the overseer of the poor, who handed him over to the local county magistrate, Samuel Worrall, who lived in Knoll Park on the estate where the Tower House is located. Worrall and his American-born wife Elizabeth couldn’t understand it either. What they determined was that she called herself Karabo and that she was interested in Chinese imagery.
