St Peter Barton upon Humber 2017 (19)

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: Caen stone font by Catherine Mawer at St Peter's Church, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. It was created in 1859 to the outline design of architect Cuthbert Brodrick, who directed the restoration of the church in that year. Showing delicate carving of wild strawberry at foot of pedestal. It still has the remains of the little lizard which was eating the strawberry. The font was paired with a Caen stone pedestal for the pulpit by the same sculptor; that pedestal is now missing, but it may be the one in St Mary's nearby. Date: 30 September 2017. Source: Own work.
