The ‘Hunterston Brooch’ which was probably produced in Ireland or the West of Scotland in around 700 AD. It was found near Hunterston in North Ayrshire during the 1830s. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

The 9th century Saxon font from St. Mary’s Priory Church at Deerhurst in Gloucestershire. Remarkably, the font was discarded in 1653 and rediscovered on a local farm in 1843 where it was being used as a drinking trough for livestock. 📸 My own. #FontsOnFriday #Deerhurst
