Notes
1. The table does not have a fixed location within the Church, though it does stay on the premises. For the assistance of an incumbent who was a wheelchair user, the table has been used in the recent past as a Communion Table, and is also generally used at Weddings for the signing of the Register, in the body of the Church, as the Vestry is considered to be too small for this ceremony.
