FIG 6.14: A late Norman font with its characteristic large bowl (left), one from the early 14th century with cusped tracery and crockets as in Decorated churches at the time (centre) and a 15th-century example with coats of arms and square flowers distinctive of the Perpendicular style (right). Originally fonts would have been painted in bright colours like the interior of the church, and occasionally fragments can be found. Some medieval fonts were made from lead, but these have later been destroyed, some even used to make musket balls in the Civil War.
