A 'pelican' style 'lectern' - in All Saints Church, Newchurch, Isle of Wight
Intriguingly this does not appear to have been used as a Lectern at St John's but rather to have been part of an altar piece in the Chancel and probably dates from about 1730: It was known to be over 150 years old when taken to Newchurch in 1883.
An inscription at Newchurch describes it as having been part of the baldachin:
"To the glory of God. This pelican and her piety surmounted the baldachino of the parish church, Frome, Somersetshire for one hundred and fifty years. It was presented to All Saints newchurch by Mrs A Dickens and Mrs H A Wooldries in 1883.",
whilst Nightingale in 1819 notes that
"The altar piece is placed in a beautiful oval window and represents a female pelican, with three young ones under it, all superbly gilt."
