Pulpit, St. Giles, Cheadle To the south of the Lady-chapel altar is the pulpit. This was carved by Thomas Roddis out of a single block of stone. It is in the form of an irregular hexagon with one very broad face on the north side which incorporates a piscina and credence-shelf for the Lady-altar. The carved panels on the Lady-chapel side have statues of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Bernadine of Siena, while those on the nave side depict St. John the Baptist, who was Lord Shrewsbury's patron saint. The pulpit is entered by a flight of steps from the sacristy. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.stgilescheadle.org.uk/the-pulpit.html" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.stgilescheadle.org.uk/the-pulpit.html">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
