@ragriggsauthor.bsky.socialA rather fine lion stands guard in the choir stalls at Exeter Cathedral.
The present choir stalls, installed in the 1870’s , were designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott.

@simonknott.bsky.socialClergy Stalls by Ernest Gimson, 1907 at Roker, Sunderland for #Woodensday. Sober, simple, beautiful. Pevsner thought Gimson the greatest of all the Arts and Crafts architect-designers.

@allthosebefore.bsky.socialOne from St Walburga’s Church in Veurne, Belgium, for #WoodensDay.
@scotchurchestrust.bsky.socialOur #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, St Mary's Episcopal, Aberfoyle, has a fine interior.
Eyes are immediately drawn to the striking arched timber roof. Also, the carved oak-panelled reredos, installed in 1950, but bearing the date 1683, is worth mentioning on #WoodensDay.

@carolineirwin3.bsky.social#Woodensday C15th misericord from St Laurence, Ludlow. The carving shows a swan with a leaf on each side which was the badge of the Bohun family. Mary de Bohun married Henry Bolingbroke who later became Henry IV.

@observethedate.bsky.social@stroudstory.bsky.socialI have to apologise for these truly dreadful pictures (halogen light!) but I promise they're something exciting! Hidden in a vestry in @gloucestercathedral.org.uk these late C14th panels tell the sorry tale of Reynard the Fox, hanged for killing a goose #Woodensday #WallPaintingsOnWednesday
@malcolmstoneman.bsky.socialAll Saints church, Holbeton, Devon
St Matthew assisted by an angel.
One of the carvings in the choir of this church.
Previously, Helen Wilson, the historian, has said they were carved by employee(s) of Trask & Co of Norton-sub-Hamdon, Somerset.
@ragriggsauthor.bsky.socialAnother of the extraordinary misericords at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford upon Avon. I think this one’s a dromedary?
