The chapel inscribed 'Ann Hamshaw 1842' in black, flanked by two cherubs picked out in colours, the front, back and side elevations of the house all with modelled brickwork, the tiled roof in blue with yellow flashing, the base with a formal puce and green border, raised on puce bun feet, 16.9cm high

Footnotes

The local Wesleyan Chapel in Mexborough, which is still standing, has its doors at the front and it is thought this was used as the model for these Yorkshire money boxes. A similar money box dated 1847 from the Sampson and Horne Collection was sold by Bonhams on 28 April 2010, lot 673.
