Bristol No. 3

Described and illustrated in Tyrrell-Green (1928: 43) as a rather strange-looking Elizabethan font; the plan of the basin is a Greek cross imposed over a square, ending thus with an outer shape that has eight protrudings shapes (four angular, four rectangular, alternating), with an actual total of twenty-four sides; the inner basin well, by contrast, has the shape of an eight-point star; the sides of the basin have angel heads on the angular sides (on both sides) but the rectangular ones have four-petal flowers (pnly on the front side, all of these on a double register. The base is square in plan but shaped like a baluster shaft; again, staying with the unsual, the lower part is shaped like an animal claw on all four sides.
