It is likely that this is the table described in a fascinating letter from the family's agent, John Woodley. It was supplied by the marble works of John Woodley of St Marychurch in Torquay in 1844 at a cost of £25 to include the pedestal. The letter then refers to its removal by sea, "to be forwarded from thence (Chamberlain's Wharf) by Baches canal boats"
Literature
Gervase Jackson-Stops, Fillongley Hall, Warwickshire, Country Life, July 20th 1989, illustrated in the Hall to the left of the organ, p. 66
Condition
Minor chips around the edges consistent with age and use. Some surface marks to the top and it could benefit from a light repolishing. Good general condition.
