Pulpit - St Mabyn - St Mabyn, Cornwall - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

Stone pulpit in St Mabyn's church, St Mabyn. It appears to be carved from Caen stone, with gothic style arcade 'niches'.

"St Mabyn Church is a Grade I listed late 15th-century Church. The church is dedicated to Saint Mabena, who was regarded in local tradition as one of the many children of Brychan, a Welsh saint and King of Brycheiniog in the 5th century.

The current church replaced an earlier one also dedicated to Mabyn. Mabyn is listed alongside several other local saints with churches dedicated to them in the 12th-century Life of Saint Nectan, suggesting that the earlier church had already been established at that time.

Built in the Perpendicular style, with possible Norman origins, it consists of a chancel, nave and north and south aisles. Several monuments were removed by Rev. Granville Leveson-Gower in 1818 and some restoration occurred in 1884; it was re-seated and repaved in 1889."
