Description

The pulpit in Holy Trinity Church is Jacobean, but incorporates two 16th or 17th century fragments as panels. It is thought that at least two of the panels are foreign, perhaps Flemish. The panels feature relief carvings of the Adoration of the Magi and the Virgin and Child, the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Crucifixion. There are suggestions that the fourth panel shows either the Flight into Egypt or the flight of Hagar and Ishmael.
