Fun at Finchale Priory, Co. Durham, using geospatial survey data and some digital 3D wizardry. We've installed some brand-new interpretation panels on site. Free Entry.

Being a vet in the C12 was always such a faff, especially when your equine patient has an elephant on his back. (Castor)

Late #FontsOnFriday The C15 #FontCover at Middleham, St Mary and St Alkelda,Yorkshire likely came from Jervaulx Abbey, discarded in likely in the 1720s. Found in a hayloft of Middleham Deanery in 1895, was reconstructed by 1898. Top & base gone, middle survived.

Having fun going through
historicengland.org.uk/images-books... and looking at earlier photos of #FontCovers many of which have been restored/added to/subtracted from. Hemingstone, Suffolk had a whole architectural level added below while East Malling, Kent lost its top.

The chancel was cut off from the rest of the church by a screen and became the preserve of the clergy. Congregants clamoured to see the Elevation of the Host in particular and peepholes were fashioned into the screen enable them to do so. (Raunds)

Very very occasionally I come across a gem. At Liddington, Wilts, I found myself signing a visitors book that had started its life in WW2. There is something rather romantic abut signing alongside visitors some 80+ years to whom the world was a dark place and worrisome.

900 year old font in the Church of St Mungo, Dearham, Cumbria. Listing says it appears to have been a cushion capital, carved with dragons and symmetrical designs in scrolled panels.

Very fond of this chunky font by #Butterfield because I was baptised in it. At SS Peter & Paul, #Caistor, Lincs. Part of Butterfield’s restoration of this splendid building (too much of his work there has been effaced by time / changing tastes).

On interesting bits and bobs, the church just between Southam and Cheltenham, Prestbury (all a bit gone-over by G.E. Street in the 1860s) there's this clearly old predella panel that no one seems to mention, not the 2002 BoE or C. Grossinger's catalogue. Late 15thc, German?

Ancient parish chest in All Saints Church East Budleigh. Each warden had a key to one of the locks, all must be there to open it.
Is it old enough for Walter Raleigh senior, church warden here c.1560, to have held a key to this very chest?

And related to the connection between materiality & power - & a reminder that power always needs an audience - I give you this detail from a baptismal font carved in 1114, stating the names of Juan & Maria, the donors of the font.

This mysterious structure in Richborough Roman Fort is thought to have been a baptismal font!
A rare find, it dates to around 400 AD and suggests that baptisms happened here, probably inside a wooden church
