St Nicholas on Winchester Cathedral font

The font in Winchester Cathedral dates back to the 12th century, like the Cathedral itself. It is carved from a single block of black Tournai marble and depicts scenes from the life of St Nicholas.

 

This detail shows St Nicholas giving dowry money to an old man to save his daughters from prostitution.
