The Tournai font at East Meon Church, Hampshire

A close-up detailed view of the dark limestone Tournai font at All Saints Church, East Meon, Hampshire. Likely a gift from Bishop Henry de Blois, who had an eye for art and architecture and who set about the beautifying of several of Hampshire's churches. Each of the Tournai fonts depicts a story, either through graphic imagery or symbols and the East Meon font does both. On two sides the story of Adam and Eve is played out with serpents and apples and fig leaves neatly in place. The other two sides are replete with Norman symbolism, looking quite Viking, the Normans were of Viking descent, with their dragon head symbols. Date: 1932
