The Digweeds Pew, Curch of St Nicholas, Steventon

In the south-west corner of the nave the "Digweeds' Pew", now used as a vestry. It used to stand to the right of the chancel arch, opposite the pulpit. Dating from the 17th century the box pew has geometrical tracery cut into oak boards. The Digweeds were occupiers of the nearby manor house, and there are many memorials to the family in the church

The church was largely refurbished in late Victorian times, e.g. font, pews, pulpit, choir stalls, altar, most of the wall painting on the chancel arcade.
I had hoped I was sitting in Jane's pew, but apparently not :(
