The Minster’s Chapter House and its lifelike car The Minster’s Chapter House and its lifelike carvings of nature has inspired visitors since its construction over 700 years ago, and now @Carnillandcompany have created a scent which perfectly compliments this special place. Their Chapter House range evokes the scent of green oak, ancient woodland and the secrets of heaven and earth which fill this beautiful and hallowed meeting place. 

Wondrous carvings of plants, animals, and mythical creatures such as Green Men and Dragons can be found here. 

The ‘Leaves of Southwell’ have recently been the focus of a @heritagefunduk conservation project providing new interpretation materials and improvements to access, so the carvings can be enjoyed for another 700 years! We are delighted that this local company has taken inspiration from the Minster in creating this delicious new scent.

You can find out more about our leaves carved in stone by visiting us and exploring the Chapter House. The Chapter House is open daily Monday to Saturday 8.30am – 6.30pm and Sunday 8am – 4.30pm.
