Place & story
The prayer desk and clergy seats
Christopher L’Estrange presented a prayer desk and sedilia, seats for the clergy, to Saint John’s in memory of his parents in 1890. The Irish Architectural Archive attributes their design to Henry Seaver and their execution to Alfred Peter Sharp of Dublin. Seaver also designed a scheme of painting and decoration carried out by the Sligo firm Meldrum. The record connects family commemoration with named designers and makers working on the church interior. [2]
