Historic Bruton Parish Church, located on Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, though not part of Colonial Williamsburg, is a history lesson on its own.
The first photo is of the elevated pulpit with cantilever-supported sound board to project the speaker's voice. The second photo is a bronze lectern presented to the church in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt in conjunction with the 300th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. The last photo is the Governor's Pew, where the colonial governor would sit for services.

What a lovely pulpit! The governor sure was lucky to get a cushy seat, church pews always give me a back ache after about a half hour lol
