York Minster box

I have just been given this lovely, big workbox. It's on legs, so is the perfect height to have next to my chair too. 

It belonged to friend G, who is moving south in the next month or so, and was her mother's. It was given to her mother by a Miss Marjorie E Kirtley. 

Inside the lid there is a certificate stating that this lady made a donation to the upkeep of York Minster in 1975.  There in no mention of how much the donation was, but it does record that it was for the period of one minute!
