Victorian pulpit in Wythburn church, Wythburn.
The interior of the church is dim and the only lights are gas mantles along the nave wall. It is 19th century, contemporary with the addition of the chancel and apse, possibly by C. J. Ferguson, in 1872.
A square Victorian pitch pine pulpit with simple panelling and triple openings to the sides. Raised on legs with extra arches in between.
The church was formerly the spiritual centre of a small farming community, destroyed with the creation in 1894 of Thirlmere reservoir. There are now only about 5 parishioners, but the church is still used.
