What is recorded here

Cruicetown parish church in County Meath still holds a rectangular sandstone font with a wave-like rim that rises higher at the corners. The basin sits on a red sandstone drum that probably belongs elsewhere, suggesting the font was moved, reused or assembled from parts rather than made as one complete piece. That mismatch gives the church a quiet strangeness: holy water may have been poured into a vessel carrying memory from another building, another town or another forgotten purpose.

A rectangular sandstone font (ext. dim. 0.58m; H 0.36m) with chamfered corners (Wth at top 0.1m) is in the nave of Cruicetown parish church (ME005-094----). The circular flat-bottomed basin (diam. 0.43-0.45m; D 0.11-0.15m) has a wave-like rim that rises higher at the corners. The font is attached to a red sandstone drum (diam. 0.4m; H 0.21m), which probably does not belong with it (Roe 1968, 111-12). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 10 July, 2014
