Dorstone Chalice
The 13th Century Dorstone Chalice. A rare pewter Chalice and Paten were found in a tomb thought to be that of Johannes de Brito who died in 1275, which was accidentally broken into during the rebuilding in 1827. Sadly, both were stolen in 2005 and have never been recovered.
We'd love to have it back!
