St Mary's Church, Ambleside
The famous Rushbearing ceremony when townspeople carry bearings decorated with flowers and greenery takes place annually in St Mary's. Appropriately, rush seated solid oak chairs were chosen by the congregation to replace old pews in the nave as part of a re-ordering and refurbihsment of their church.
They chose the St Wilfrid's chair which has a wide rush seat and extra back bar for support and requested a shelf for books and kneelers.
One hundred and fifty were delivered and are arranged in gentle curves, their oak frames complementing the oak parquet of the new floor.
