Some days I really shouldn't bother putting fingers to keyboard, first of all writing St Agatha instead of St Agnes and now cast instead of wrought iron! Oh dear. A glorious church it is and at some point I will dig up a photo of one of the chandeliers, which really are very special. Coldron was the local smith and I don't know of any other examples of his work, which is a pity as he was evidently a master.Allan Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499774849106432968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-46125250727461882842009-02-18T16:13:00.000+00:002009-02-18T16:13:00.000+00:00Rather than "cast iron" I think the chandeliers ar...Rather than "cast iron" I think the chandeliers are wrought iron with gilded details.

I think St Agatha and her attributes would be very surprising inside a font cover!<BR/><BR/>Billy, yes towering font covers like this did exist in the Middle Ages, but generally they were counter-weighted so the whole structure lifted.Allan Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499774849106432968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-26390248823976636242009-02-17T18:53:00.000+00:002009-02-17T18:53:00.000+00:00The font cover is a happy surprise.
