Baptismal font at St Catherine’s

Following last weekend’s information regarding woodworm, the wooden font has been removed. Richardson’s have cleaned and made good the old stone font that had been out in the garden and placed it in the baptistery area. This may well be the original church font, but we don’t know for certain. However, it has seen hundreds of baptisms over the years in the parish. Its appearance maintains the ‘patina’ of its age.
