Seventeenth-century pulpit
Amongst the other works that are kept today in Notre-Dame-la-Grande, but which came originally from other local churches which have disappeared today, there are several statues, a reliquary bust of Saint Didier, coming from the church of the same name, a bronze lectern made in 1743 by the Paris founder Charles-Paul Hervain, for the Notre-Dame de la Réau abbey, and this splendid pulpit dating from the seventeenth century. It is said to come from a Protestant temple in Poitiers, which was destroyed in 1685, but in fact its precise place of origin is not known. |
