]]> 1930’s Vintage Highly Carved Gothic Oak ‘Pigeon Coop’ Church Lectern https://churchantiques.com/product/1930s-vintage-highly-carved-gothic-oak-pigeon-coop-church-lectern/ Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:31:32 +0000 https://churchantiques.com/?post_type=product&p=179093 From Holy Trinity Church, West Midlands.  Intricate detailing which miraculously has survived in it's entirety.  Memorial inscription dated 1963 which does not tie in with the date lectern was made.  Probably was bought by Mr & Mrs Roach much earlier when they were young and inscribed after both had died.  AI images used to provide more context.
