Baptismal Font

English 17th c. Made from Walnut.
According to Christ Church history, this font was brought from England in 1697. William Penn was baptized in this font at All Hallows, Barking-by-the-Tower 1644.
Also, this font is on loan to the US from England. Thank you England! It's ours now! :^)

You can keep it, we only lent it to you 'cos it had woodworm ;o) You have polished it nicely for us though :o))

you've captured the texture of the walnut very well.. well done. If it is on loan from the UK, perhaps thats a spy camera at the top?

Of all the things to transport all that way, did they think they wouldn't find enough wood in the New World
