One for #FontsOnFriday. Here is the font in the redundant church of St Andrew, #Wroxeter, #Shropshire. It is thought to be a reworked #Roman column base. The super church is maintained by the @visitchurches.bsky.social www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/our-ch...

A circular and stubby font carved out of a single block of red sandstone.  Is stands on  circular base, possibly a reused column drum.  That then stands on a much more modern hexagonal base allowing the priest to stand on it and reach the font's bowl.  The floor is black and red Victorian tiles.  In the background is a stained glass window.
