Memorial Lectern - St Giles - Marston Montgomery, Derbyshire - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

A fine wooden lectern in St Giles' church, Marston Montgomery. It consists of a carved oak column on a heavy octagonal base, with crossed flags over an inverted sword with a gilded handle. Above this is a ball with a dove perched on it; its outstretched wings support the reading tray.
