This lectern is dedicated to the memory of Charles Vincent Stockwood M.A. who was Archdeacon of the Isle of Man from 1958 to 1958.
The modern design of the lectern is in contrast to the rich dark wood seating for the use of the Island's MHK's when they sit in court in the Chapel. The text on the dedication plate attached to the lectern is as follows:
