A pair of Charles II carved oak rails, circa 1670 Each carved with an opposing scaly dragon, with a tongue with arrowhead terminal, and with punched decoration, 52.5cm wide x 2cm deep x 12cm high, (20 1/2in wide x 0 1/2in deep x 4 1/2in high) (2) Fußnoten According to one of the collection of pasted labels to the reverse of these rails, they were removed from Breedon Church. Another label, dated 1969, states that they were part of pew-ends from the church of Breedon-on-the-Hill, Derbyshire, and were given to Ann Cowlishaw by 'old Ben Hart', after which they descended in the family to the writer's father, George Lonsdale Langley. The family of Everand is also mentioned as owners of these rails. The Priory Church of Saint Mary and Saint Hardulph in Breedon, famous for its Anglo-Saxon stone carvings, is now in Leicestershire, but is only two miles from the border with Derbyshire.
