Sutton St Michael , Herefordshire

c1140 Tub-shaped local sandstone bowl stands on a stem with a roll at the top. This stands on a conical base decorated with 4 lions on an octagonal step. The composition is thought to resemble the font in Hereford Cathedral flic.kr/p/cZw2c3 and could well be by the same mason.

The bowl of the font was recovered from the garden of a village house

- Church of St Michael, Sutton, Herefordshire,.
