Stone pulpit in St Mary's church, Elloughton.

"In 1843, notice of a Vestry meeting was called which sought to “take into consideration the dilapidated state of the said church and to resolve on the best means to be adopted for the improvement thereof.” At the resultant meeting, on 15th June 1843, it was agreed “to rebuild the body of the church and for that purpose to lay a rate of 7d in the £ to be paid by the tenants – the proprietors agreeing to pay a rate of ½d in the £, in addition to the above.” Part of the cost of rebuilding was carried out in an Early English style, by J. L. Pearson, and this took place between 1844 and 1846."
