Cathedral and Church Fonts
Imogen Corrigan
Apart from the altar, the font is one of the most significant and symbolic objects in a cathedral or church. Often situated near the entrance, the font represents the traditional initiation rite for entry into the Christian faith. This book explores the many and varied types of fonts, including their shape (round, square or hexagonal), their construction, including stone or lead, their covers, the large variety of decorations as well as the clues that they give about the benefactors of church and the affiliations of the congregation.
The author also investigates the inscriptions found on many fonts, including palindromic inscriptions in Greek, and what they tell us about the history and culture or their times and environment. Accompanied by a wide variety of colour photographs taken by the author, this book is an essential concise companion and guide to the rich history of church fonts in Britain.
