Chapel Furniture

Private chapels were common in large
houses. In Medieval times a priest would have been retained to
celebrate daily mass for the household. After the Reformation
many chapels were retained for family prayers, but without the
stained glass and iconography.

pulpit

A pulpit was raised to allow the preacher to be seen and heard
by everyone. This one has just two steps, so it doesn't require
an extra high ceiling.
