Wilden Baptist Chapel

[krela]

Illustrations of the wooden chairs with the hymn book holders can be found in many Church Furnisher's catalogues from the period 1900 to 1930 - the one time span I have personally seen. It appears that the lighter stained examples most likely come from the 1930's and later, early examples always appear to be dark oak stained.

Indeed, I believe they were available right up until the 1970s, and could also be purchased with the addition of a flip out prayer kneeling pad on the underside.
