STONE PULPITS.

(Vol. viii., p. 562.)

To MR. KERSLEY'S list I can add, from my own county, St. John the

Evangelist, Cirencester, used; SS. Peter and Paul, Northleach, used;

Staunton, All Saints, in the Hundred of St. Briavell's, Dean Forest, not

used.

The last has a curious double arrangement in two storeys, like a modern

reading-desk and pulpit, projecting west from the north side of the chancel

arch, or rather (if I recollect rightly, for I took no notes on visiting

the church) of the west tower arch, and to both which there is access from

the newel leading to the ancient rood-loft.

To the above might be added those of Coombe, Oxon; Frampton, Dorset; and

Trinity Church, Coventry: and if any other than those in churches, the

angular one in the entrance court in Magdalene College, Oxford, from which,

formerly, the University Sermon used to be preached on the festival of St.

John the Baptist, when the court was strewed with rushes for the occasion

(vide _Glossary of Architecture_, in verb.); that in the refectory of

Tinterne Abbey, Monmouthshire; and the well-known exquisite specimen of the

later First Pointed period, occupying a similar locality in the Abbey of

Beaulieu, Hants, so elaborately illustrated by Mr. Carter in Weale's

_Quarterly Papers_.
