The Millionaire's 1895 patent plate

This close-up of the patent badge on the Church of England's Millionaire shows its date of patent as 1895, which certainly makes it the oldest piece of kit we've seen so far in this competition!

 

John says it's been kept because: "It was in everyday use up to the late 60's and, for an organisation that still has John Milton's application for marriage, this is almost a recent acquisition!'
