Church of St Mary and All Saints, Whalley

St Anton's Cage in the Church of St Mary and All Saints at Whalley in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire.
St. Anton's Cage is a large pew, originally built in 1534 for the Nowell family of Read, near Padiham. Above its two doors are the initials of the Fort and Taylor families who contested ownership of the pew. In 1830 the dispute was settled when the pew was divided by Ecclesiastical court order. The pew was never used again because neither family would share.
