We love Church Pews, we've already got three in our house and we were debating which of the two low ones to bring down to Sennen when out of the blue we were offered this beauty.Apparently it came from a Church in Feock, and someone had started trying to sand it down but then for some reason decided to shove it in a barn and there it stayed for quite a few years.
Its a nice solid low backed Pew measuring 8ft in length so fits under the window at the dining table end of the main room perfectly.
Its made of pitch pine so has superb grain and will come up a treat with some careful preparation, beeswax and elbow grease, and still has the prayer book shelf on the rear. Most unusually it has a fairly wide bowed seat, so unlike a lot of Pews its actually quite comfortable to sit on.
We also picked up a lovely solid oak top refectory table at the auction last week so now we're on the look out for a nice chunky bench to complete the set!
