The Pulpit

The oak, mahogany and lime-wood pulpit is decorated with Coade-stone panels showing more incidents from the life of St Paul. The marble floor includes a ship’s anchor lying north-south, and a rope design said to match exactly in size the anchor cable of a first rate ship of the line. The galleries are lined with grisaille paintings of the Apostles and Evangelists by Biaggio Rebecca, also from designs by West and covering niches which it was too expensive to fill with statues.
