New Font for Easton Church, near Winchester, 1850. Creator: Unknown
New Font for Easton Church, near Winchester, 1850. Stone font for St Mary's Church, ...executed entirely by the hands of a lady, also resident in the parish. It is of Caen stone, the design being taken from the well-known old font in New Shoreham Church, which, bearing the characteristics of the late Norman, was appropriately selected for the model. It is 2 feet 9 inches square, and has a massive centre pillar and four spiral shafts; the sides have each a different pattern, deeply cut; the stopper is of bronze, in the form of a laten cross. The artiste of this valuable gift was employed somewhat less than twelve months in its completion; she determined that no other hands should share with her own the labour, and rejected, therefore, all aid, even in the mechanical part of excavating the basin or preparing the shafts for the chisel.
