This Credence Table is situated half way along the chancel and historically held the elements for the Eucharist before being taken to the altar for Consecration. As you can see, we put flowers here...in this case dried hydrangeas. You may noticed that the ‘shelf' where the flowers are is not level. Hardly surprising...as the original Abbey was constructed in 1198.
In my enthusiasm to take this shot, I omitted to notice the edges of the pews. NF SOOC, of course, doesn't take prisoners...and I should have been more vigilant before taking the shot. O me miserum;-(
There are two more of these hidden behind the 17C wood panelling and a third that has had a door fitted and receives the candle offertories, so it's nice that this one has been left in it's original condition.
A learning opportunity for you which is what Richard's challenge is all about! @vignouse. The distractions do make me smile though! Otherwise a very nice shot!
