St. Nonna, Altarnun

Cornwall, England

A very unusual square Norman font with faces on four corners with remnants of paints still on them
You can see the entire font on the previous picture.
The church is also full of exquisite benchend carvings.
St. Nonna Church used to be the centre for curing madness.
One can just imagine how it was done!

Wonderful lighting. This carving looks very "modern" for some reason. Thanks for posting it.
