Church Pulpit Circa 1896 - Antique Collectable

This is a really great piece. it had a plague on it explaining the history. There was a plaque explaining the origins. Is late 1800s. Plaque was kept by the church, it read, "This pulpit was erected AD 1896 by Rev. A.C. Dibb, Priest of this parish, in memory of his Father Rev. Ashlan, Missionary in Tinneville, South India, who died AD 1876. R.I.P.". 45.5X45.5X70. Would be a great show piece, or transformative piece...pool or outdoor bar for BBQ? It has a lot of potential.
