Mathon Church, An Historical Tour

The Churchwardens' Chest

The Churchwardens’ Chest, appears to be made from the solid trunk of a tree with three separate lockable compartments. It was used to store church monies, valuables, registers and vestments. Although dated 1698 with the names of wardens, it is probably earlier.
