St Andrews's Church, Hingham, Norfolk         Bench pew ends, 1872

16.10.1872

The Norwich Mercury reports " All the seats have sloping backs, and the solid oak bench ends, as well as the front and back framing, are ornamented with carving, consisting of a great variety of foliage, with which heads and other animal and insect forms, have been introduced ; it has all been designed and arranged conventionally from nature by the architect, and executed, with a few exceptions, by Mr. James Forsyth , of London, from full-sized drawings supplied by Mr. Colling "

It was reported on BBC Norfolk in 2020 that the church were aiming to move 16 of these pews in the church to allow room to make alterations to the interior. In doing so the Rev. Dr. Sally Wallace-Jones undertook the task of photographing and recording all the work done in the Church. I managed to get in touch with Sally and she has not only sent me all her files but has allowed me permission to use her photos on this site

There are around 300 photos in all and so I have decided to pare these down to as many unique carvings as possible below
