If it is agreed that WS 30 was made in Caistor then take a good look at this one - compare the legs and stretchers , study those two back turnings, contrast the underarm supports: this surely came from the same workshop.

This is just a wonderfully designed and made chair - I sit on it every day to have my meals. I bought this one several years ago from an antique shop in Coningsby (now closed) because of the similarities with the Caistor chair: compare this chair with WS 28 and WS 31. The similarities in the turnings run across all three chairs in slightly different combinations: I think you will agree that they all came from Caistor.

I found this chair at the Newark Antiques fair; I didn't buy it but the dealer kindly let me record it. Those turned stiles that are the back supports are so reminiscent of chairs which are associated with Caistor that this one probably comes from there too.
