Post medieval sumner's pulpit The parish of Arbory appears to have borne a dual dedication to St Cairbre of Coleraine and St Columbcille: medieval documents refer to 'terram Sancti Carebrie' (1153) and 'ad ecclesiam Sancti Carber' (1291), but also to 'terram Sti. Columbae, herbery vocatam' (1231) and 'Parochia Sti. Columbae' (1511).


A sumner's pulpit stands outside the gate on the east side of the graveyard; it takes the form of a substantial raised platform and is the finest example on the Island (the remains of another stand on the south side of St Patrick's Church on St Patrick's Isle).


Its antiquity is unknown.
