Lecturns come in all shapes and sizes, from very formal functional structures to grand brass eagles such as this one in Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire. Obviously over the years this has been polished on a regular basis and is a credit to the cleanerds and church wardens. I love the build up of polish highlighting the gaps between the feathers.
Fotheringhay church is a magnificent structure which is best viewed across the river from the south. There is a small layby near where the picture below was taken.
Fotheringhay is usually open for visiting
