In Medieval England pulpits were often ornate, and this one with an octagonal shape and elaborately carved canopy, is an excellent example of late Medieval woodwork. It is accessed by a small wooden staircase. The spire shape helped throw the voice of the preacher outwards to the pews, rather than upwards into the high ceiling.
