David Winter Winterville Collection includes this lovely piece "St. Stephen's" --Horses were as essential to village life as wheat and coal, life would be near impossible with these fundamental necessities. Horses pulled the plough that tilled the field that grew the seed from which came home-baked bread. They are all characters with as many traits as their riders and are as diverse in personality as any group of people. So these stalwart dobbins, who were a vital part of our lives before the motor car, deserve a special day whether they be high stepping thoroughbreds or hatrack nags. What more important day could be given than the day after Christmas, Boxing Day - December 26th, known throughout Europe as the feast of St. Stephen?The St. Stephen's Church measures 8 7/8" high 4" high and 4 3/4 wide. Enjoy this piece all year long or especially at Holiday time.
