Vice Chair of the Committee @AleksMcClain spoke on medieval cross slabs at All Saints North Street at @AllSaints_North in York this afternoon. A wonderful opportunity to hear about the 21 surviving fragments in the building - more than any other surviving at a church in the city.

The font in the baptistry at @StPeterMancroft (Norfolk) stands under a rare and unusual 15th century wooden canopy. Take a closer look and not all is original, however. There are even a few plaques marking periods of restoration, inc. Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. #FontsonFriday
