The lectern is in the shape of an eagle with its wings partly spread. It was carved by Mr Kingley McDermott in 1910. It stands on a three sided bases. The eagle is a symbol of the resurrection or ascension of Christ due to the fact that it soars upwards. By extension, the eagle symbolises baptised Christians, who have symbolically died and risen with Christ. The three sided base represents the Holy Trinity.
