"Courtesy of the Trustees of Sir William Turner's Almshouses"
Kindly allowed access by a gentleman from Kirkleatham to photograph the chandelier and interior of the chapel. It is made from wood, encased gold and is in need of restoration work. The work of restoring the chandelier is beyond the means of the local almshouses trust and the plan is to auction this 1720's work of art at Christy's in the near future. The local council were given the opportunity to buy it instead but declined.
