Thaxted Parish Church Nave Seating
Known as the Cathedral of Essex the Church of St John the Baptist with Our Lady and St Laurence is one of the most beautiful churches in England and sits within one of the most picturesque of towns with its timber framed houses and ancient streets.
Treske, as part of a nave seating reorder, made 98 rush seat St Wilfrid chairs and 14 St Wilfrid armchairs as well as 50 St Nicholas folding chairs - also with rush seats. All the chairs were made in oak with some of the seating having book boxes on the back of the top back rest as well as a shelf for kneelers under the seat.
