Sedilia and Piscina, St. Giles, Cheadle Modern practice was for the seats to be on one level with the priest sitting in the middle but here Pugin reverted to the medieval arrangement where the priest sits on the left seat, nearest the altar and the deacon and subdeacon sitting to his left on descending levels. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedilia" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedilia">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> <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.stgilescheadle.org.uk/the-sedilia.html" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.stgilescheadle.org.uk/the-sedilia.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>

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>
