BUY A PIECE OF WIVENHOE HISTORY
St Mary’s Church is making significant alterations to the interior of the building and as a result we have some pews to sell. Not only is this a chance to buy a piece of local history but also an opportunity to acquire a wonderful piece of furniture! Made of oak, the pews have one beautifully carved end piece and some even come with a full length cushion for the seat! We have:
7 measuring approximately 260cm in length (valued in the region of £300);
1 measuring approximately 275 cm (again valued in the region of £300);
1 measuring approximately 195cm (valued in the region of £200) and finally
2, without carved ends, measuring approximately 105cm (valued in the region of £150). Photographs are available from the email address below.
So, if you would like to have a unique piece of furniture in your home as a table-bench; in your hallway or on the upstairs landing we can offer free delivery to homes in Wivenhoe (our thanks to Dave Whymark of Jones & Whymark for providing the transportation).
