This report presents the results of a historic building recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) to record the pulpit ahead of a proposed residential development at Yon Chapel, Kingskerswell, Teignbridge, Devon. The pulpit is located at the front and centre of the chancel and it is positioned directly under the chancel window. The pulpit is typical in form - it comprises an elevated and enclosed platform that is raised to ensure the best sound projection and it incorporates an integral book stand. It would have been the largest single piece of church furniture to evidence the importance of the Word of God within the liturgy, the sermon whereby the pastor would read from the bible and interpret for the congregation. The pulpit would have originally been for the exclusive use of the pastor and possibly an assistant lay preacher, however the nature of services changed during the 20th century and many of these more open platform pulpits also doubled up as lecterns for congregational readings and for church notices. The pulpit is respected by the beaded stair plate and by the skirting that rises with it along the wall, however it is ultimately a freestanding structure. It is of typical design, with a single-storey raised platform that is accessed via a set of steps to the west. It is of mid-late 19th century Jacobethan (Jacobean Revival) design, a freer and more vernacular Gothic style that mixes Elizabethan geometric with Jacobean decorated forms and that was popular in domestic country house architecture and institutional buildings from the c.1820s. This example exhibits well-executed artisan carpenter details including pegged joints and dovetails, however it is pine, stained dark, not particularly decorative, and of surprisingly heavy scantling for such a small space. This rather heavy style is interesting when considered in relation to the stained glass in the lancet window to the south which is of accomplished Art Nouveau style and which is later than the construction date of the chapel. The pulpit appears cohesive in style with the Gothic scissor-truss roof, the trusses of which sit on short wall posts which in turn sit on corbels in an attempt to give the impression of early crucks. Several of the four-panel doors in the building have the typical Gothic run-out chamfering on their plain panels, also seen on the pulpit, and the dado-height panelling around the chapel is of plank boards with a chunky bead to the top that ec...
