Ref: GD1143 Categories: ,

A genuine reclaimed church font from a small welsh parish in mid-wales.  Dating to 1863 when St Johns Church, Llanbrynmair was built, this original sandstone font stands at nearly 6ft tall and is of substantial proportions.  Sitting on a large square sandstone base, the font comprise three hand carved sandstone blocks, the top of which is a large round bowl with a deep basin, originally for baptism.

Hand carved lettering with Canterbury style Anglican cross symbols to the bowl.

The font has a hole running up the centre of the column where the original water source would have flowed into the basin.  This could be used to run a water supply to the font or as a drainage hole.

The piece is in good sound condition, a couple of small losses to the sandstone as pictured. The piece has been outside for several years giving it a lovely weathered patina.  A heavy item that will need to be handled with care.
