Located in the Church of St Egwin, nestled amidst the idyllic surroundings of Norton and Lenchwick in Worcestershire, this remarkable piece dates back to 1180-1190. The intricate detailing on this stone sculpture is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour has been meticulously carved with utmost precision, reflecting the skill and dedication of its creators from centuries ago. The lectern's ornate design transports us back to a time when artistry was celebrated as an expression of faith. James O.
