This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.
I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯

Popped into Morville Church, Shropshire on the way back from Bridgnorth for a dose of some early Norman architecture and to see the fab font with its ‘green man’ style heads. I did a quick #lidar scan with the phone so you can give it a twirl & have a look… skfb.ly/pBBoP

The White Lion in Lewes, despite the company of nesting birds, seems sad his pub was demolished in 1937. More so, perhaps, when he learns he’s a replica, his C18 original now in the Town Hall.

Box pews throughout, and commandment boards in German: the remarkably intact interior of St George's German Lutheran Church in Whitechapel.

Bronze & enamel lectern by Gilbert Bayes in the Savoy Chapel, memorial to Laurence (son of Henry) Irving who drowned with 1000 others when the Empress of Ireland sank off Canada in 1914. Its captain Henry Kendall, on his prior ship, sent the radio message that led to Dr Crippen's arrest.

Magnus Volk at St Wulfran, Ovingdean. Inventor of Volk's Electric Railway in Brighton, the world's oldest still-operating electric railway, and the wonderful if short-lived Brighton & Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway that ran through the sea on stilts. At low tide you can still see sleepers.
