THE PULPIT.--From the west end of this chapel steps lead into the stone pulpit which adjoins it. This pulpit was built in Henry VIII.'s reign, by Bishop Knight, who died in 1547. It is a low, but well-proportioned, structure, resting on a basement, and fronted with panelled pilasters; it is surmounted by an entablature. In front are the bishop's curious arms, which occur more distinctly in the glass of the north choir aisle--Per fess, in chief a demi-eagle with two heads and sans wings issuing from a demi-rose conjoined to a demi-sun in splendour in base. On the frieze is the inscription--_preache. thov. the. worde. be. fervent. in. season. and. ovt. of. season. reprove. rebvke. exhorte. w^t. all. longe. svfferyng. &. doctryne. 2. Tim[=o]._ A board along the top, covered with red baize, impairs its beauty at present. [Illustration: Sugar's Chapel--the Lectern And Pulpit.] THE LECTERN, which stands near, is composed of a massive double desk, surmounted by ornamental work, containing the arms of the see. It rests upon a ball and turned stem and base, and is entirely of brass. Bishop Creyghton, who had it made when he was yet dean, inscribed it on both desks with his arms and this legend:--_Dr. Rob^{t.} Creyghton upon his returne from fifteen years Exile, w^{th} o^r Soveraigne Lord Kinge Charles y^e 2^{d.} made Deane of wells, in y^e yeare 1660, gave this Brazen Deske, w^{th} God's holy worde thereon to the saide Cathedrall Church._ The Bible referred to still rests upon it, bearing the same date; it is bound up with the Prayer Book, and contains initial letters and a frontispiece, but it stops at the book of Job. Opposite the lectern are two sixteenth-century panelled wooden stalls, with round finials, all bearing the same device on both sides--a Tudor rose with _I.H.S._ in the centre, and the letters _m.d.l.i.i._ (1552) on the five petals. These excellent examples of simple and effective woodwork were found amongst some lumber in 1846, and now form part of the temporary choir stalls that are used for the nave services. On the south side of Bubwith's chapel, and partly covered by it, is a slab, 10 ft. long, covering the grave of Bishop Haselshaw, with the inscription, _Walterus de Haselshaw Ep. 1308_. On the west of Sugar's chapel, another slab bears the inscription, _Radulphus Erghum Ep. 1401_. In a slab near the entrance to the choir there is the matrix for a brass of a lady, with mitred head-dress of the period, _c._ 1460, beneath a canopy. The style suggests that it may belong to Lady Lisle, whose tomb possibly stood here.
