The lectern is in the form of an angel with spreading wings. It is beautifully carved by Mrs Constance Mary Greaves, end 19th century. The church isn't used anymore. I like the cobweb threads.
The light in the little church didn't work, so used the window light and cranked up the ISO. Handheld.
For black and white challenge, theme architecture.
