An ornate pulpit in the nave of Westminster Abbey, presented in 1859 to commemorate the beginning of Special Services. Carved stairs lead up to the podium, the base supported by Corinthian columns. Four carved figures, with diamond shaped emblems between, surround the main platform. The pulpit was later gifted to St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.
