THE
LECTERN
St
Michael’s is a nice silver affair. The word comes Lectern from the Latin lectus, past
participle of legere, "to
read") this is a reading desk, with a slanted top. Here will rest The
Bible.
This delightful piece of furniture directs our gaze down the Nave to the West Door of the church. And again I am struck by the candour of this
house. And why, through these drawings and remembrance of important milestones, this place is so special.
