This type of chair known as a Turner's Chair, so called because each part is turned on a pole-lathe by a wood-turner. Most commonly made of ash or yew-tree, but sometimes in fruit or walnut, the earliest appearance of such chairs is lost in time but they have been recorded throughout England and Wales, Northern Europe and Scandinavia, where some of the earliest can be found in churches, dated by some historians to the 13th century.
