Description

Detail of a square font bowl sat on four short piers and a square base which date to the 19th century. Two sides of the bowl are visible, and each side has four arches with a different labour of the month depicted inside. Two of the scenes represent threshing and binding a sheaf, but the others are difficult to determine.
