The Tournai Marble font in Winchester Cathedral is still used for baptisms. The font features scenes from the Miracles of St Nicholas of Myra on its four sides and may have been commissioned by Bishop Henry of Blois around 1150.

Give me the most gaudily 90s goth-y and just depressing-sad open license fonts out there.

#FontsOnFriday and its Holy Trinity Bosham & this wonderful late C12 font

Wonderful 12th century St John the Baptist Bishopsteignton. Definitely qualifies for #fontsonfriday and #adoorablethursday But that tympanum of the magi puzzles me. Guidebook is adamant it’s an adoration and the right hand figure is Mary in C12th dress. But it looks like Herod to me, especially as the star is behind them

for #FontsOnFriday (doesn't seem to have made its way here yet 🐘 ...but what better time to start!)

exploring John the Baptist at Bere Regis yesterday with its fantastic Norman Font

#Churchcrawling

12th century Norman font at Hereford Cathedral. It's decorated with images of the twelve apostles but their features were defaced during the English Reformation. Lions guard the base of the pedestal. #FontsOnFriday

@conceptacassar Love these! The church looks a very nondescript red brick building on Google maps.
There used to be a #FontsOnFriday hashtag on another site I used to frequent. Wish it would come here.

Sometimes posts seem to disappear!! This was really for #FontsOnFriday but could do for #Sunday too! "Infancy," one of 4 high-relief carvings of the Four Ages of Man on the font of St Mary's Church, Studley Royal, Yorks. Designed by #WiliamBurges, & executed with so much tenderness by Thomas Nicholls https://victorianweb.org/sculpture/nicholls/16.html
