| 説明 | Brass Eagle Lectern said to date from 1470.This is one of only 48, surviving early 15th century, brass eagle lecterns to have been cast in East Anglia. Four of its contemporaries are in Italy, one in Urbino Cathedral, two in Florence and one in St Mark's, Venice.These lecterns were made from standard patterns carved in wood which were reused in various combinations. Typically there are a dozen or so components, including the body of the eagle, the wings, the talons, the globe, the various cylinders and mouldings of the pedestal, and the seated lions that act as the feet. These components can be assembled in different groups, for example different bodies with the same wings, or with different lions. In 1654 the Puritans wanted to sell the eagle but instead the churchwardens moved it from the Choir and used it as a collection box for Cromwell's New Model Army. Money was posted in through the beak and retrieved from the tail (the opening is still visible).The church dates from the 12th century and is the only Medieval church in Coventry that is still complete. It is 59 metres (194 ft) long and has a spire 72 metres (236 ft) high, one of the tallest non-cathedral spires in the UK. |
