Scope and Content Detail of wooden settle inside All Saints' Episcopal Church, Inveraray, Argyll and Bute All Saints' Episcopal Church was built in 1866 to the designs of Wardrop & Anderson, architects, Edinburgh. Amelia, Duchess of Argyll, paid for the church. There is a detached bell-tower a few metres to the south-west, which was built in 1923-32. This oak bench is a sedilia. Sedilias were designed for the clergy and generally had three seats: one each for the priest, deacon and sub-deacon. This has three ogival panels in the back, two of which appear to be late medieval bench-ends. Probably of English origin, each of the panels is filled with two two-light 'windows', the heads filled with blind tracery and the upper spandrel, with foliage. The finial of the left panel is a fruit and that in the centre is a grotesque face. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
