If they have nicked the stone trough  be careful about letting them know about the maybe font

They would struggle to heave it out of the ground YT..... but then again these pilferers are cunning  ;D

One 'perhaps-maybe' font, with glove and someone's foot for scale (Jan put your glasses on  ;D)

A similar one turned up a few years ago apparently and it now resides in the village church - not as a working font, more as an interesting artifact.

You're not being boring Maggie - we are hanging on your every word, and desperate for more photos!  I think if distance permitted, we would all be on your doorstep in the morning, asking for a tour!

That does look very much like the font in Llywel Church (where Moogle was baptised) which has been dated to about 1000 years old.

Would have to be quite a reasonable sized church for such a substantial font wouldn't it??   I mean, - it isn't pint sized is it!!

I wonder if the size/weight of it might suggest that it is not far from its original location.....

Not boring at all Maggie ..... to be taken on a journey through your eyes from our armchairs is beyond words.
