Two generations of font-rim repair from spalling damage from rusting staples. Presumably the opposite pairs of staples were themselves of different generations. More to be learned about font-covers from such examples, I suspect. Any more pics of this one, Barb?
@KPW1453 This must, once, have been made of Dundry stone. I wonder whether it still is, or whether this is a later replacement in another limestone. Anyone know?

13th century font with carved symbols including pentangle & a green man. My book says they are not Christian symbols with exception of the dragon at the base. โperhaps dragon represents old serpent of the devil very much defeated at the foot

This beautiful medieval church still contains the bogus font from Buckinghamshire. A bit offensive when there are so many unused fine-quality 12th & 13th locally-made stone fonts in Anglesey, and you even know where the original is located. Please do the decent thing...
In the 1960s, Llantrisant Old Church on Anglesey was a roofless shell.
This medieval structure had fallen into a state of disrepair after decades of effective abandonment, however, it was eventually saved.

@WGCG_UK@YouTube Well, there you go Joe. Making invertebrate fossils interesting again. Tut-tut-tut - I thought we'd finally dispensed with that little problem๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ...
Spent today in Harlaxton (Lincs) recording fragments of mediaeval and early modern stonework in the grounds of this amazing house. It was built in the 1930s, almost entirely from material salvaged from the manor house which was demolished in 1857.
