All Saints Holbeach POI: Piscina and Sedilia

Gallery

It is believed that both the Piscina (niche containing a stone bowl) and Sedilia (decorated stone seats for priests) are contemporary to the building of the chancel. But by the mid-nineteenth century their poor state was addressed. Both were constructed in a medieval style and were nineteenth century additions. A blocked up doorway would have led to a vestry, but this was probably demolished in the mid sixteenth century.
