Sounds like it has been used like a regular table since its former life in a place of worship. I wonder if nervous patients at the dentists found its presence reassuring?

It was purchased, when the church was demolished, by Frank Wright. Mr Wright was a dentist in Blake Street and used it in his waiting room. He later went on to be Lord Mayor of York in 1955. He gave the table to my Mum who’s own mother was his dental nurse.

Thanks to you I now know the history of 33 North Street where I used to live in the early ’70’s via Imaghineyork website.
I also remember (via a prompt) that it was Cissy Hemmings who used to live next door whilst it was still a shop.
HUGE thanks.

as ever

Ian

PS. I will also be watching the Mystery plays tomorrow night and the Olympics closing on Sunday night. A great w/e to look forward to!
