The Pulpit is Restored!Restoration work on the fine medieval pulpit in the church of St James Swimbridge has been completed. The pulpit - dating from circa 1500 - is now structurally safe and has been expertly cleaned. The carving of the head of St Peter, smashed off by a mentally-troubled visitor to the church, has now been restored. Church warden Mark Haworth-Booth explained: “The whole pulpit looks thoroughly rejuvenated. Our gratitude goes to the highly-skilled McNeilage team which carried out the restoration and also to parishioner David Netherway for making it all happen. “Several celebratory events will be arranged in the New Year to mark the restoration.” (Photo is by David Netherway - Click/tap to enlarge) |
