Balsham: Holy Trinity - choir stalls

The chancel "is furnished with some of the most striking 14th-century stallwork in England. The twenty-four stalls, designed c 1390, reflect the wealth of Ely's rectors here; they have armrests at two levels, so useful whether misericords were raised or lowered. Given by John de Sleaford...just conceivably from the workshop of Hugh Herland's glorious team of the King's carpenters, who roofed Westminster Hall in 1390s, for Sleaford was Master of Edward III's Wardrobe and Chaplain to Philippa of Hainault" (Norman Scarfe, Shell Guide).
