Gorran Pulpit
Pulpit at Gorran

Pulpit – Photograph (PWDRO 116/77, 244/4 & 244/5); 1911

The octagonal pulpit at St Goran is comparable to C14/C15-style pulpits made for other churches in Cornwall that were designed by Sedding and/or carved by the Pinwills. The pulpit, ‘elegantly carved in Gothic style’, was dedicated by the Bishop of Truro in April 1911 (Royal Cornwall Gazette, 1911).
