Font in Kilcock — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilcock’s octagonal granite font still stands in a 19th-century church, though it probably came from a levelled graveyard church seventy metres southeast. Its basin and chamfered base carry shields, human faces and animal faces, marking it as a rare survival from a lost Christian landscape. Whoever moved it preserved more than stone: they kept a visible share of Kilcock’s deeper religious memory.

In a 19th century catholic church, to where it was moved, probably from a now levelled church (KD005-002001-) in a graveyard (KD005-002002-) c. 70m to the SE. A fine granite font (H 1m), octagonal in plan, the basin and chamferred base of which bear pannelled decoration, including shields and representations of both human and animal faces. See cover of 'Unity in Division: a history of Christianity in Kilcock and Newtown' (1999) for a photograph of the font. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
