Summary

[edit]
Description

The description of the griffin is from D. P. Mortlock's authoritative "Guide to Suffolk Churches." The pulpit is universally acknowledged to be a very fine early 17th C. work. Mortlock says the steps [and, I assume, the railing and griffin] are "modern."

Roy Trickler, In the church guide, says the steps are "somewhat later" than the pulpit. Pevsner (back when) mentions the pulpit but no steps or rail. Whatever. It's a very nice piece of wood to hold on to while one climbs the steps. Trust me.
