[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 158902, member: 25"]They appear to be 19th C Gothic in style, but the condition looks poor at least in some places, and with the decline of the churches, more are being pulled down or 're-purposed' so quite a few benches come on the architectural salvage market. Check a few architectural salvage websites/sellers for typical prices near where you are, but do not expect to sell for anything like the prices they ask, these things are expensive to ship anywhere and the specialists are where the buyers go first. Sometimes they are simply a source of old timber for some other job.[/QUOTE]
