The Gurney Stove

this type of stove made by the London Warming and Ventilating Company during the 19th century was designed to burn Anthracite, a very hard form of coal. Most cathedrals and large churches and other buildings used this type of heating. This is one of two in Tewkesbury Abbey converted to gas in 1987.

Interesting piece of machinery. It looks very artistic for a heating unit!

A very interesting piece of equipment. Good to see it still being used.
