Inside All Saints Church (1904)
Anonymous

This photograph shows the interior of All Saints Church in September 1904. Next to the woman, a Miss Agape Parker, is the chained bible and 18th century wrought iron sword rest. The sword rest would have once been located in the Mayor's pews and the ceremonial sword placed there when the Mayor attended the church. The Georgian pews were removed in the 19th century but since this photograph the sword rest has been resited at the east end of the nave.
