The Lectern |
|
On the south side is the Lectern, an eagle of solid brass, made by Potter of London in 1850. Originally it stood in the centre of the nave just below the Chancel steps and its present position was occupied by the reading desk, commonly known as the' Rectors Stall' which now stands under the Tower arch. |
|
WIGAN PARISH CHURCH |
|
Above the Lectern is an interesting brass plaque of Albert Harry Hodd (priest), who died in 1871. It is of interest because it depicts a priest in vestments, rarely seen in a brass of this age. |
