West Barsham, The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Bench Ends & Poppy Heads

The oak benches have poppy heads and are beautifully carved on the armrests with domestic or wild animals and birds. They were designed by Margaret Tarrant and made by Mr. Royal about 1954. The arm rests are as follows:-

North side next to wall:- a turkey, cat, hare and owl.
North side next to centre aisle:- pony, cockerel, duck, squirrel.
South side next to wall:- fox, partridge, hen, cow.
South side next to centre aisle:- lamb, pig, dog, pheasant.

The chancel seats have more of these carvings. There are various designs for the back of the pews. The Lectern is by the same maker and has a delightful little mouse on its base with growing corn on the stem.
