Discover the history and symbolism behind one of the most recognisable features of English church interiors: the brass eagle lectern. The Brass Eagle Lecterns of England offers a richly detailed journey from the earliest medieval examples to the Victorian revival, exploring how these striking objects were crafted, why they became so widespread, and what they represent in Christian tradition.
The book highlights regional styles—particularly in East Anglia—and examines notable examples from Cambridge and Oxford colleges, alongside remarkable stories such as the hidden lectern of Oundle and the famous pelican of Norwich Cathedral. An essential read for anyone interested in church architecture, liturgical objects, and English heritage.
