DescriptionSt Peter and St Paul, Ermington, Devon pulpit by the Pinwill sisters in 1880s.jpg
English: Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Ermington, Devon
The wood carvings in the Church are the work of three sisters –
Mary Rashleigh, Esther and Violet Pinwill. They were daughters of the Reverend Edmund Pinwill, who came to Ermington in 1880.
The Church was in a bad state of repair when the Reverend Pinwill came to Ermington and John Sedding, a well-known London architect, was commissioned to organise the restoration.
Much of the woodwork was beyond repair and Mrs Pinwill, who was aware that some of her daughters had an artistic bent, arranged for the woodcarvers to teach them the craft.
The first work was the pulpit and the sisters and their tutor constructed it in the harness room of the Vicarage.
