Pulpit, St Georges, Milson, Shropshire, England - Wooden Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

From the churcg website:-
"St. George’s Church at Milson, is described by Nicholas Pevsner as follows: the pulpit is Elizabethan with square ornamented panels in two tiers.”
Although he describes the pulpit as Elizabethan, it is believed that it was made in 1899 by Mrs Gorton, the wife of the Rector, Mr A.H. Gorton, R.A. who dedicated it on April 28th, 1899. She is said to have taught wood carving to the local people and the carving of the pulpit is a copy of a popular Elizabethan design."

This is a small Norman Church of nave and chancel with a squat thirteenth century tower. There are Norman windows on the south as well as the north side. The south doorway is late Norman with one order of colonettes, the capitals with trumpet shaped scallops on the right and waterleaf on the left.
In the tower on the west side is a long slit-like lancet. The tower has a shingled top stage and a pyramid roof. The arch towards the nave is pointed and rests on single chamfered imposts.

There is a good timbered south porch, probably of the fourteenth century. It has rubble walls on the sides below, and four studs above. It has a gable with tie-beams on big arched braces, and plain wavy bargeboards.

Inside the church there is a simple tie-beam roof in the nave. The most curious feature of the interior is a large lintel high up replacing a chancel arch. The chancel east window is nineteenth century.
