The oak pulpit was given by the wife of Henry Simmons, who was elected Bailiff of Seaford on four occasions. He gave the town ‘The Simmons Institute’ in Crouch lane, which was the community centre of its time, and also paid for the stained glass window on the North Wall next to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, ‘ Christ Raising Lazarus’. The Simmons family go back hundreds of years in Seaford – their name is a corruption of the word ‘seaman’. Many of them are buried in the churchyard near the Lych Gate.
Prior to the Reordering of 2006, the following Lectern frontals were in use.
