Prominent on the north side of the church is the huge pulpit of richly carved oak with decorated hand rail worked in brass.

The pulpit has rouge jasper pillars on an alabaster base. The carved woodwork of the pulpit, as well as the carved screenwork in the church, was executed by Ralph Hedley who, at the time St George's was built, had already undertaken other major commissions in Newcastle including the screen and choir stalls in the Cathedral.

As a shipbuilder Mitchell would have had access to the finest imported timber: the pews throughout the church are of oak and are remarkable for the length of planks employed in their construction. The remainder of the pulpit, like the altar, and marble flooring of the sanctuary, was executed by Messrs. Emley & Sons of Newcastle.
