'Vampire slaying kit' containing wooden stake and Holy Water being auctioned in Bristol

A Victorian 'vampire slaying kit' containing a wooden stake and Holy Water is set to fetch thousands at a Bristol auction.

The box including tools to fight the living dead originally belonged to a priest living in Wollas Hall in Worcestershire during the late 1800s. The collection comes housed in a custom-made box and includes a crucifix, Holy Water, bibles and a wooden stake.

The defence kit is expected to sell for between £4k to £6k when it goes under the hammer at East Bristol Auctions on March 24.
