St Deny's Parish
Church Aswarby Lincolnshire |
The Heritage Group is greatly indebted to the Church Recording Group of the Holland & Kesteven Antiques & Fine Arts Society (HAKAFAS), the local NADFAS group who alerted the Heritage Group to a very special discovery. In St Deny's the Parish Church of Aswarby is the only example that has so far been found of a historically rare saddle type boiler still in situ. |
View into floorpit facing the furnace. Note the pipework partially buried in the floor on the right hand side. |
View into floorpit facing the rear vaulted coal storage area. |
View face on showing the saddle boiler with the firegrate and ash pit below |
Angled view showing the 3 soot clean out doors |
To the rear of the floor pit is a vaulted area where the coal was stored for firing the boiler |
