The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileOriginally from the Church of St Margaret de Westwick on St Benedicts Street, Norwich, this extraordinary object is made of high-quality Baltic oak, its elaborate carved front and heavy lock suggesting its creation at the hands of a skilled craftsman from Lower Saxony (in north-western Germany). The perfect gift for a proud Norwichian, this chest is a symbol of Norwichs rich medieval history and strong international links; a city with more standing medieval churches than any other city north of the Alps.
