St Mary

Unknown item – Chaytor (1990)

Photographs of the interior of St Mary’s church (sussexparishchurches.org) suggest that the most likely candidate is the modern-looking pulpit, but on closer inspection it transpires that the person to whom this work is dedicated died mid-December 1956, making it very unlikely that Violet Pinwill could have carved this item, as she died on 1 January 1957. Further investigations are therefore required.
