Lewis Carroll’s Pulpit

Guildford, Surrey, is a must-visit destination for fans of Alice in Wonderland, being the town where its author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson—better known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll—spent the final years of his life. The son of one of the major Anglican church figures of his time, and a Deacon of Christ Church himself, Charles is known to have been a rather spiritual man.

In addition to giving sermons in Oxford, Charles also preached in Guildford on occasion, at St Mary’s Church. This was the church where his funeral was held when he died in 1898, and inside it, visitors can find the very pulpit from which the famous Lewis Carroll preached his sermons.
