view of church exterior - southeast view
Scene Description: Source caption: "the 900 years old font [...] which was nearly lost forever during the restoration. It would appear that this unpretentious font was considered to be of no further use and that something a little more in keeping with the furnishings should replace it. So it was decided to sell or give it away to a local farmer as a water trough and to build the pedestal into the church boundary Wall and replace it with another more attractive one. This was done I suppose in good faith and this ancient piece of carving was lost for sixty years until by a strange coincidence both pieces were found during repairs to the tower in 1932."
