Sudbury two

The font mentioned in the first post of this series. The base of which turns out to be 14th century, and the cover of which turns out to be 15th century; not revival at all, the real thing. But relieved of the statues which used to live in the niches at some point.

The flower lady, who happened to be by, thought that the cover was balanced by an exterior counterweight, thus making the cover a bit easier to lift, but we were able to see no such thing from the yard.
