Large Carved Stone Sandstone Church Basin Font Garden Fountain Feature Planter
About the Item
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 - one faith + one baptism + one lord +
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.
Sizes:
Base: 91cm x 91cm x 18cm / 3ft x 3ft x 7"
Overall height: 135cm / 53"
Bowl measures 73cm / 28.5" across (outside diameter)
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.
