Notes
This does not appear to be part of the pulpit, but rather the base of a pilaster on the wall with the masonry indicated in pink. Nonetheless, the inscription is not exactly clear where this pilaster would be placed. Looking at the floor plans (SM 54/6/5), it may correspond to the pillar arrangement behind the pulpit and reading desk, and attached to the main pews. Nonetheless, this remains conjectural.
