..... a really super item from the cathedral of Alfred the Great .. The letter opener is made from Beech wood in 1906 when the Cathedral was repaired. Beams replaced date from the building of the cathedral in 1202 .... hard to get an item older than that !!!
It is carved in the Arts and Crafts style with the arms of the cathedral.
The back of the letter opener appears to have been signed by the D...ean of Winchester.
