What is recorded here

A 13th-century font of Kilkenny limestone located inside the S entrance door of the cathedral's nave (CW011-016005-) (Bradley 1989, 47). It has a large square bowl decorated with rounded arcades resting on a large, possibly modern, drum shaped base (ibid.). According to Pike (1989, 574) this font, described as 'decorated with heavy Romanesque flutes, ten on each side, Fleur-de-lis decoration on the top surface', was moved here from St Mary's Church (KK020-060006-), Gowran, Co. Kilkenny (where the font is recorded as KK020-060070-). Compiled by: Claire Breen and Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 22 August 2018
