This plain yet well-proportioned pulpit dates from 1790 and belongs to the restrained Georgian phase of parish furnishing. Constructed in oak, it is hexagonal in form with flat panelled sides and a moulded cornice. The supporting stem is turned and faceted, giving the structure a clear visual lift above the nave floor. A simple flight of wooden steps provides access to the preaching platform, and the reading desk is incorporated into the same structure, reflecting late-18th-century liturgical practice.

The pulpit embodies the clean, architectural lines characteristic of Georgian ecclesiastical woodwork, favouring clarity and function over ornament. Its survival is notable given the extensive 19th-century restorations that removed many fittings of this period from parish churches.

St Peter’s ceased regular worship in the 1950s, after which the building fell into disuse before being taken into the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The pulpit now stands as part of the preserved historic interior, offering insight into the appearance of a rural church on the eve of the Victorian era.
