#Stunday Hexham Abbey Font cover Might as well do an early #FontsonFriday before I forget !
The Crucifixion on an early 16th Century font from Borline on the Isle of Skye, now in the National Museum of Scotland. It has a dedicatory inscription date 1530 to John MacLeod of Minginish. #FontsOnFriday
A run of the mill 1880s font made splendid by its setting in Old St Paul's Episcopal church, Edinburgh, for #FontsOnFriday
2/2 The only other font in East Anglia that's like it is at West Tofts in the Norfolk Battle Training Area, though here the symbols of the evangelists have been replaced by angels with scrolls. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this font is actually a 19th Century reproduction. #FontsonFriday
The unusual 14th Century font at Ovington, Norfolk for #FontsOnFriday. The four protrusions are the symbols of the evangelists, a winged man for Matthew, a winged lion for Mark, a winged bull for Luke and an eagle for John. All beheaded, presumably in the mid 16th Century.

The 16th Century Elizabethan font at St Peter, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire for #FontsOnFriday. It's inscribed ER 1570 with the royal arms of England. The splendid font cover is claimed as being 17th Century, though I do wonder if it was elaborated later. 1/2
The font at St Mark, Broomhill, Sheffield for #FontsonFriday by George Pace, 1963. Oak and steel with a wrought iron cover.
The font at St Matthew, Carver Street, Sheffield for #FontsonFriday, by Henry Potter, 1903. Oak with brass inlay, there's also a matching pulpit.
The c1930 font in the choir of Holy Rude, Stirling. Until 1935 the church was divided into two, by a wall separating nave and choir. This was the font of the East Church. The West Church font is in St Nicholas chapel, almost hidden by stacked chairs when I visited. #FontsonFriday
