For this reason, Eastern baptismal fonts tend to be larger than Western, and are often shaped like a large chalice (significant since the Orthodox administer Holy Communion to infants after baptism), and are normally fashioned out of metal rather than stone or wood.

Later the aisles were widened and heightened to form high arcades and create a hall-like church. Features include: a Roman baptismal font, late Gothic frescoes, carved altar, paintings, choir seating, baroque epitaphs and a late Gothic crucifixion group. Work on the collapsed tower commenced soon after the event and was only completed in 1542, with a strengthened octagonal storey topped by a Renaissance canopy. In 1836 one storey was removed.

The curved lines of the gables of the taller western square tower reveal the Renaissance character of that element. These gables attain a height of , and are the highest element other than the west circular tower. The entry porch displays the Vicars' Plaque, bearing the date 1472. The interior features a granite baptismal font, one of the oldest interior remains from the Middle Ages construction, matching the exterior stonework.

Portal of Paradise with Romanesque sculpture Facade of church Documents allege a church existed at the site by 756. Of that building, only the baptismal font seems to have survived. The earthquake of 1117 prompted a major reconstuction, and a new building consecrated in 1122. The Portal of Paradise retains some of the Romanesque sculptural elements, with a relief depicting Madonna and Child with St Peter and Angels.

On all sides are to be seen old subterranean magazines, once belonging to houses now destroyed, the ruins of which are covered with brushwood. The vestiges of two churches, almost completely destroyed, are still visible. They are both built east and west; one occupied the higher part of the town, the other the lower. On the site of the first, among other things, are the fragments of a baptismal font.

The main part of the building measured . In the 1870s, the church was found to be too small for the congregation, so it was torn down and a new, larger church was built in 1874. The new church was built right outside the old cemetery which surrounded the old church. The church bell and the brass baptismal font from the old 1738 church were saved and installed in the new church.

|
The baptismal font from this period, which is still preserved today, indicates this. The church seems to have stood on the floor of the Epe courtyard and was therefore a church of its own. In 1188 the village Epe was mentioned for the first time in the list of goods of Count Dale zu Diepenheim (today in the Rijksarchief Utrecht). The count owned one third of the church patronage.
|
|
The doors are richly carved and carry runic inscriptions.

Inside, the church was wired for electricity and a new baptismal font installed. Both the property and the building were formally conveyed to the church. A building four miles () from the church, at what is today the intersection of New York State Route 300 and Plains Road (Ulster County Route 20), was put into use as a church hall. Van Aredonk died in 1932, but the church's renewal survived.

The first church in Hornnes was a stave church probably from the 13th century. The present church was built in 1828 near the previous church which was torn down in 1828. That church was painted red and was likely located where the road is located today. There is an old clay baptismal font in the church that dates back to Catholic times, but it hasn't been used in over 400 years.

A church at the site is documented since 920, and was documented in 1004 as a pieve, able to confer baptism. The church still has a sculpted octagonal baptismal font from that era. By the 12th century the church had assumed the three nave layout. Investigations have suggested the original apse was located where the facade now lies, an inversion occurring with a reconstruction in the 17th century.

Frederick II handed over the completed church to the Potsdam congregation on September 16, 1753, the day of Knobelsdorff's death. In the 19th century Schinkel modified the interior fittings, since they had in the meantime come into disrepair.

|
The exterior of the church is rather sophisticated in comparison with most comparable churches in Uppland, thanks to the more dynamic material used, i.e. brick rather than granite. It is decorated with blind arches and supported by buttresses. The western end of the church seems to have been built as a separate chapel from the start, perhaps as a family chapel for the commissioning family, or as a chapel to house the baptismal font.

Eastern Orthodox Christians usually insist on complete threefold immersion as both a symbol of death and rebirth into Christ, and as a washing away of sin. Latin Church Catholics generally baptize by affusion (pouring); Eastern Catholics usually by submersion, or at least partial immersion. However, submersion is gaining in popularity within the Latin Catholic Church. In newer church sanctuaries, the baptismal font may be designed to expressly allow for baptism by immersion.

The stone church was built by the Cistercian order in the 12th century, at the site of a prior Ancient Roman Villa. The church soon fell into decay with the founding the larger church of San Michele Arcangelo inside the city walls. Made from hewn stones, the facade has a bell in the sail-type tympanum. Presently without a roof, restoration of the site began in 2014, replacing the altar and baptismal font to their original position.

There are also remaining frescos in the vault, so-called "vault men". The pews are reconstructions of pews from church dating from the 17th century, made during the 1955 renovation. Two decorative pyramids (17th century) adorn the front pews. Some medieval furnishings still survive as well: the baptismal font is from the 13th century (and thus probably older than the church), and there is a wooden statue of Saint Bridget of Sweden from the 15th century.

A meticulous re-creation of the church's interior required another two years of work. English woodcarvers, working from pre-war photographs, created carvings for the pulpit, baptismal font, and balcony. Blenko Glass Company, an American firm, manufactured the glass for the windows and a Dutch firm cast five new bronze bells for the tower. Noel Mander, the fire warden who watched St. Mary's burn in 1940, built the organ and helped assure authenticity of the interior details.

By using the "empty" cross, or cross of the resurrection, Presbyterians emphasize the resurrection and that Christ is not continually dying, but died once and is alive for all eternity. Some Presbyterian church buildings are often decorated with a cross that has a circle around the center, or Celtic cross. This not only emphasizes the resurrection, but also acknowledges historical aspects of Presbyterianism. A baptismal font will be located either at the entrance or near the chancel area.

Several details, notably the extensive use of sandstone from Gotland and the church's triumphal cross and baptismal font coming from there, indicate the workshop building the church might have come from Gotland. During the 15th century, the choir was added and the ceiling further vaulted and decorated with frescos. The latter have never been painted over and so retain much of their original brilliance. It has been suggested that Sten Sture the Elder might have commissioned them.

The rood cross and the figures belonging to it are from the middle or late 14th century. Another group of sculptures is from around 1280, stylistically related to the large rood cross in Öja Church. Furthermore, three wooden sculptures from the 15th century (depicting Christ, Saint George, and the Coronation of the Virgin) also belong to the church. The decorated baptismal font is also medieval, made at the end of the 12th century by the Romanesque sculptor known by the notname .

The oldest pieces of equipment that have survived to this day are the baptismal font from 1220 and the triumphal cross from 1230. The broken rood screen from 1664 has also survived. Twelve statues received from the Münster sculptor Heinrich Brabender remain preserved to this day, including figures of the Christ and of the Apostles, and also a smaller number of statues received from Duke Erich II of Saxe-Lauenburg, Bishop of Münster. These are on display at the Diocesan Museum of Osnabrück.

The chancel has two south windows: the more easterly is Decorated Gothic and therefore earlier; the more westerly is Perpendicular Gothic. The baptismal font is octagonal and may date from the 1660s. In 1840 the nave walls were raised by about , the ancient oak roof was replaced with a new deal one and the windows were reduced in height, all to accommodate the installation of galleries to increase the church's capacity. In 1885 the galleries were removed and the oak roof was restored.

The main altarpiece dates from the 1840s, but preserved in the church is also the original, medieval carved wooden altarpiece of the church. It was made in Uppsala, probably at the end of the 15th century, and depicts the Last Judgement and figures of saints. The baptismal font was made on Gotland and dates from the 13th or 14th century. The church also has a processional cross from the 14th century and a thurible made of bronze, dating from the 13th century.

Alongside the doorway there is a water stoup which shows signs of weathering, and a carved stone depicting the crucifixion. It shows a "crudely carved" figure on a wheel cross, and is probably from the 13th century. It was previously set in a recess above the south door. The plain baptismal font, thought to be from the 12th century, is at the west end of the nave. The chancel measures 12 feet 9 inches by 10 feet 6 inches (3.9 by 3.2 m).

Pooley was responsible for restoring St. Michan's Church, Dublin, described as being in a 'ruinous condition' in the 1680s, and the expansion of St Eunan's Cathedral. His will left £200 for a building programme, which was not completed until years after his death. Most of it was replaced in the late 19th century, apart from a baptismal font installed in 1706, which can still be seen. He died in Dublin on 16 October 1712, and was buried in St. Michan's.

The hall has a gabled roof clad with metal sheeting with lean-to structures to either side and the rear. These additions are constructed in concrete block and have louvred windows to the north-west and south-west, and a covered driveway along the eastern boundary. Internally, the building has undergone major refurbishment with new wiring, floors, ceilings, kitchen and fittings. A large, tiled baptismal font is located under the current stage and survives from the building's use by the Assembly of God.

Also 15th-century are the choir stalls, the screen between the chancel and Lady chapel, the baptismal font and a doorway to a former rood loft. Inside St Michael's are several monumental brasses, most of which are late Medieval. One is of a priest, John Balam, who died in 1496. A triple brass from about 1500 depicts a knight and his two successive wives. Another represents Sir John Daunce, who died in 1545, with his wife who died in 1523 and their children.

The church's frescoed interior Triumphal arch and the iconostasis The floor of the right half of the church consisted of a schiazze paving dating back to 1528. This consisted of rectangular local stones of various sizes and colour shades. The roof was tiled on the left side and had cross vaults and ribs on the right. An immersion baptismal font, which might have been a Roman altar, was moved to the parish house in the early 1970s to protect it from theft.

In the interior, there is an ornamented frieze, carved with swags of fruit and flowers between the Corinthian capitals runs in an unbroken band entirely round the church. All colour is avoided, replaced by architectural enrichments and the bas-reliefs in the pendentives of the dome. The interior contains works of art that include paintings by Anthony van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens and Jacques Nicolaï, a Jesuit lay brother and student of Rubens. There is also an old, Romanesque baptismal font.

Oribin also personally produced seven acid-etched copper panels, each depicting one of the sacraments, to ornament the baptismal font lid. Other copper work for the sanctuary lights, candle holders and spun copper font were designed by Oribin and produced in Sydney. His work was so valued by the Proserpine congregation that, years after the church was completed, Oribin was contacted by them to design and detail a simple noticeboard. The total cost of the finished church came to £22,000.

His wife Anna died on 1 September 1852 at Woodend, Ipswich and was buried in the Ipswich General Cemetery. After her death, Hannibal Macarthur returned to England, where he died at Norwood on 21 October 1861, and is buried at West Norwood Cemetery. His wife Anna was commemorated with a baptismal font bowl and plaque at St Pauls Anglican Church at Ipswich by Queensland Women's Historical Association, unveiled on 25 February 1966 by Sir Henry Abel Smith, Governor of Queensland.

Major modifications to the interior were completed in the 1980s, including the installation of a new octagonal altar of limestone with marble pillars. (The high altar remains in place.) A Baptismal font made in 1865 by George Horan was added in the sanctuary. Beside the sanctuary is the Lady Chapel with pieta, a sculpture of St. Constance and of St George, and an altar donated in 1905. The Martyrs’ Chapel contains the shrine with the relics of St Thomas of Canterbury.

In one of the walls of the cave there is a picture explaining the story of the translation of the Virgin. In the lower part of it is a text that says: Guanches were baptized in the cave. The original baptismal font used to this effect is preserved in the basilica's camarín. In 1497, Tenerife conqueror Alonso Fernandez de Lugo held in this cave the first celebration of Candlemas, at the same time as the Festivity of the Purification of the Virgin.

The earliest church on the site was a stave church, later replaced by a Romanesque stone church. Of these first churches nothing remains, except for some Romanesque reliefs incorporated in the southern wall of the present church, and the baptismal font, made by the master sculptor known through the notname as Byzantios. The presently visible church is a comparatively large Gothic building, dating from the middle of the 14th century. Only the tower is later, built during the 14th century.

The wrought iron baptismal font from the 1670s bears the arms of Niels Trolle and Helle Rosenkrantz. A farmer, John Jensen, believed that a church should also have a ship, so with his wife, he bequeathed money for that purpose; Neptunus hangs from the ceiling of the church. The exterior faces of the church are in red brick with a stepped gable. It is located at a distance of about to the north of Kong where there is another church.

The settlement spanning thousands of years and the town's thus far 628-year history have left behind very little in the way of buildings, besides the Marienwolde Monastery, as witness to earlier times. In imitation of the Late Romanesque churches in neighbouring Westphalia, churches were built in the 13th century out of Bentheim sandstone. The only artwork preserved from this time is the baptismal font in Brandlecht. Bearing witness to the 15th century is the Alte Kirche ("Old Church") at the market.

Carving of an angel holding a Three Crowns emblem on the baptismal font (c.1400) in the parish church of St John the Baptist; the crowns are a symbol of East Anglia. Brother Eadulf has become Saxmundham's most famous international fictional character, through the best-selling Sister Fidelma mysteries by Peter Tremayne (a pseudonym of the Celtic scholar and author Peter Berresford Ellis). Brother Eadulf, as companion and assistant to Sister Fidelma, often plays a crucial part in resolving the mystery.

It is believed that the marble baptismal font was installed during this period, since the pedestal bears the label of Lynchburg Marble Works which was in business from 1879-1883. When the church reopened in the 1940s, the present altar, the Priest's and Bishop's chairs (designed by local artisans Julian and George Lindsey), and the altar cross and prayer stand were given as memorials. The Tiffany stained glass window above the altar was given by a subscription raised by Ethel Dirom.

The framework is infilled with face brick, except in the sanctuary where marble is used. The building finishes were left unpainted to reduce future maintenance liability and the flooring chosen was durable marble, terrazzo, mosaic and linoleum. Liturgical foci – the altar, baptismal font and holy water fonts – are constructed in solid Botticeno marble. The canopy over the high altar is constructed of edge-grained Oregon Pine with Sapele Mahogany fascias, in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid supported on laminated Sapele Mahogany columns.

Major alterations to the church were carried out in 1923 by Doig & Ritchie, under the supervision of Ardel Rooney of Rooneys Ltd. The building was widened to include transepts on either side of the main altar, side aisles and a sacristy. The marble altar, wooden side altars, baptismal font, altar rails, pulpit, pine pews in the aisles, and wood and plaster Stations of the Cross, date from this period. Also in 1923, cottage style gardens were constructed around the church.

The altarpiece (1735-50) is a masterwork of the Vicenzan painter Costantino Pasqualotto (il "Costantini") and depicts The vision of St. John of the Cross. The saint is depicted kneeling before a crucifix, while Christ, carrying the cross on his shoulders, appears in the clouds with a procession of angels. To the right of the chapel is opened the baptistery, built in 1909 within an existing room, with the stone baptismal font and a bas-relief of Saint John the Baptist.

It has several fields that illustrate different evangelical sites, with the communion in the great central field. The pulpit is in Renaissance style and has five fields depicting The Evangelists and Jesus Christ. The baptismal font of soapstone was created in Gudbrandsdalen in the mid 12th century. The church has two church bells in the bell tower that were made by Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry, in addition to a preserved medieval church bell that can be found in the porch.

The Paschal candle is used to bless the baptismal font to be used in the celebration of the sacrament. The Great Alleluia is sung before the Gospel is read, Alleluia being used for the first time since before Lent. People receiving full initiation in the Church, who have completed their training, are given the Sacraments of Christian initiation (Baptism, confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist). In Catholic and Anglican tradition, the Easter Vigil is an especially appropriate day for Holy Baptism.

Restoration work in 2007, including the heating infrastructure, was carried out with financial backing from Bank Foundation of Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo. An ancient baptismal font was found during archaeological excavation in the aisle in front of the Blessed Sacrament chapel. Approximately 100 graves, primarily of children, dating from the 16th and 18th centuries were also found. The finding was not unusual as it was once customary to reuse the space of an ancient baptistery redesigned as a burial place.

There is also a large square stone baptismal font (possibly from around 1200). In addition, the church contains various tombs, but the interior is mostly devoid of ornamentation. According to local tradition, the chancel was roofed with an oak ceiling (blue with gold start) until the end of the 18th century. It is roofless today and features a 15th- century doorway, a 15th-century Gothic sedilia as well as a Romanesque three- light east window with its triangular pillars topped by carved capitals.

The church bell was given to the congregation in 1870 by the wife of George A. Jarvis, whom Jarvis Hall college was named after. Calvary's baptismal font was carved by George Morrison, for whom Morrison, Colorado was named. Upon the beloved bishop Randall's death in 1873, the congregation pledged to preserve this chapel as a monument to his service to Colorado. Several additions have since been built to the structure, including its Guild Hall (1902), projecting chancel (1909), and classroom addition (1954).

Contributions to the development of science and technology have appeared since the beginning of the country's history. Baptismal font of Renier de Huy, is not the only example of medieval Walloon working expertise. An indication of that : the words "houille" (coal) or "houilleur" (coal miner) or "grisou" (damp) were coined in Wallonia and are from walloon origin. The economically important very deep coal mining in the course of the First Industrial Revolution has required highly reputed specialized studies for mining engineers.

The episcopal palace across the street also holds a diocesan museum. The painting called the Madonna di Montalto was commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Peretti from the painter Annibale Carracci but the painting never was reached the town and remains in Bologna. The baptismal font was sculpted in 1652. The tall brick façade has an eclectic Neoclassical design with three round arches almost suggesting a triumphal arch, flanked by pilasters with Corinthian capitals, but for the small triangular tympanum, nestled underneath a balustrade.

It was obtained under an initiative of Father Roberto Arroyave, who in 1975 hired its construction from bogotana (a type of sandstone) with the signature "Enchapes Sacatín" for 80,000 pesos. The fourth and current baptismal font is situated in the same place as the third, and was acquired by Gilberto Melguizo Yepes. It is built from marble from the bottom up, and features a staggered octagonal base, followed by a square pillar that holds octagonal basin that holds the water.

From 14th and 15th century, respectively, originate the two entrance buildings in the south and north of the church as well as the doorways in them. The doorway in the southern entrance are decorated with coats of arms, lions and other symbols associated with the patron saints of the church. Also from the 15th century is the baptismal font still in use today. The most important work of art left in the church by the 15th century is the wooden ceiling.

The tempietto was sculpted by a Tuscan master, representing the months of the year and the apostles. Behind this font, higher on the wall, are two 15th century glazed terracotta lunettes: The Annunciation and St. Bartholomew, both attributed to the school of Andrea della Robbia. There is another baptismal font, still in use, carved and adapted from a sacramental altar by Matteo Civitali in 1489. The counterfaçade houses the 16th century organ in the exquisitely carved, gold-plated choir from the 17th century.

Finally completed in 1648, Sackheim Church received its Josua Mosengel-designed organ designed by in 1707. Because the church burned down in the great fire of 11 November 1764, it was rebuilt under the direction of Karl Ludwig Bergius and dedicated in 1769. Its Rococo spire was decorated with a gilded Lamb of God weathervane. Other notable aspects of the church were its Rococo altar, ornately decorated pulpit from 1769, and a sandstone baptismal font by Franz Andreas Threyne in 1940.

The present church incorporates the original tower and much of the brick and fragments of the late Victorian building. The interior is a mixture of styles, with the parabolic arches favoured by Grant contrasting uneasily with the Perpendicular shapes of Hellicar. The reredos and choir stalls survive from before the war; the original baptismal font was accidentally broken during the war and the present one is a 1950s replacement, as are the pipe organ (designed by Rushworth and Dreaper) and lectern.

All are backlit in order to preserve a quiet atmosphere devoid of city traffic distractions. Along hallway walls are original works of art by noted landscape artists depicting scenes from nature as well as other artwork prints commonly found in other LDS temples and meetinghouses. Both the first endowment ordinance room and baptismal font murals were painted by Linda Curley Christensen. The statue of the Angel Moroni atop the building (December 2016) The temple exterior retains much of the original travertine stone facade.

Although there are undoubtedly smaller chapels including the tiny church at Les Vauxbelets on Guernsey, this arguably remains the smallest to be built as a parish church — although this role has long since been supplanted by a larger church in the village. St Lawrence Old Church. The old church has a 15th-century baptismal font - a stoup that is about 500 years old and a series of 18th-century hat pegs. The piscina niche is almost the same age as the church.

The people of Gulen got a fine and suitable church site close to the pine forest in the sheltered bay of Hjellvika. Various organisations and individuals joined forces to work and give gifts as the church was being built. The Gulen Rifle Club paid for the coloured window panes used in the church until the restoration work in 1954. The local youth organisation donated money for the first organ, and the congregation raised money for the baptismal font, and other objects and furniture.

The fifteenth century saw the completion of the tower, and the installation of the rood screen and the early Tudor period baptismal font. In the sixteenth century the roofs over the aisles were raised. Next to the altar at the south end is the tomb of Robert Wynne, a major benefactor of St Mary's, and the builder of Plas Mawr on Conwy's High Street. The chancel floor was raised at a later date, and in 1872 the roof of the nave was raised.

The oldest (13th century) are found in the choir and depict imaginary animals, geometrical ornaments and foliage. The other paintings are from the middle of the 15th century and depict scenes from the Passion of Christ as well as other stories from the bible. Among the church furnishings, the baptismal font by the Romanesque sculptor Sigraf, dating from the 12th century, deserves mention, as do a wooden Madonna from about 1500. The pews and the pulpit are from the 18th century.

Inside, the church is decorated with murals. One set dates from the 14th century, another by the so-called Master of the Passion of Christ (Passionsmästaren) from the 15th century and a third by the so-called Master of 1520 (similar to murals in Alva and Lau churches). The octagonal baptismal font is of sandstone and dated to the 12th century. The altarpiece was painted in 1780 by Johan Niklas Weller (1723-1785) who also painted the altar in 1782.

The Romanesque baptismal font belonging to the church is from the 12th century, and is the only surviving medieval item in the church. The altarpiece is from the 1760s but displays an oil painting from the 19th century, and the pulpit dates from 1762. The church also contains a special pew made for the local lord in 1641 and decorated with sculptures depicting Moses, John the Baptist and coat of arms. The other pews is later, probably made in 1907.

Among the church furnishings, the richly decorated Romanesque baptismal font is the oldest, made of sandstone in the beginning of the 13th century. It may originally have belonged to the possible earlier, wooden church in the same location. The altarpiece is from the early 16th century and probably made in northern Germany; however, it has also been speculated that it may have been made in the nearby monastery of Bäckaskog. It shows great similarities with the altarpiece of neighbouring Oppmanna Church.

The church is rather small, compared with other medieval churches on Saaremaa and elsewhere nearby, and of simple form. It has a single nave, spanned by high, whitewashed vaults forming two bays, a simple choir and a vestry. Interior details worth mentioning are the baptismal font from the 14th century, a crucifix from the 15th century and the pulpit, dating from 1638 and made by local artisan Balthasar Raschky. What makes the church unique, however, is its rich interior decoration.

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new at that time. It was likely built towards the end of the 12th- century as there is a preserved baptismal font from that time that is still in existence. The first church was a stave church that was located about southwest of the present site of the church. In 1640, the church was torn down and replaced with a timber-framed long church.

This aspect of the interior is in marked contrast to the uniform and austere grey of the exterior. View from the gallery The cylindrical pulpit is located near the entrance and was completed in 1874, but not painted until 1935. Like the baptismal font, it is placed on four sculpted legs. It contains five stone relief figures, assumed to be the four evangelists, and Paul the Apostle sitting on an upturned "pagan" altar, and a winged dragon below the reading stand.

Made from wrought iron in the shape of the baptismal font, it also resembles a signal beacon. On the altar can be seen a Memorial Book which was started in 2006. The glass screen which separates the chapel from the north aisle was engraved by Peter Tysoe and dedicated on Easter Day in 1982. The first three panels show Jesus being baptised by John the Baptist watched by the disciples - John with the book, James with the shell and Peter with the keys.

Funding came from both the congregation and the diocese of Hamilton. The interior of the basilica, post-renovations in 2015 The total cost of the work reached about $10 million, including the exterior restoration and the work on the interior, with the installation of new lighting, new flooring and new pews. A new altar, baptismal font and pulpit were also installed and the basement hall was renovated. A slide show available on the Basilica's web site provides high resolution imagery of the final results.

In the centennial year of 1952, the entire church interior was redecorated, adding religious images and medallions painted on canvas in New York that was then applied to the walls of the church. Angels on clouds carry banners with the words to the Hail Mary prayer in Latin. "Ora pro nobis peccatoribus, Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae" (Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death). The altars, railing, pulpit, and baptismal font are crafted from Carrara marble from Italy.

First, there is the chapel of Baptism, named after the marble baptismal font there placed. In this chapel, there is a paleo-Christian marble pillar found during the excavation for Saint Catello's chapel. Second, there is the chapel of the Blessed Virgin from Lourdes, formerly dedicated to Saint Gaetano and now dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Lourdes. On the main altar is displayed a reproduction in stucco and cork of the Grotto of Apparitions with the statues of Virgin Mary and Saint Bernadette in prayer.

The entrance to the structure was moved from the usual east to the north side when the galleries were added in the 12th century. Parts of the outer decorations of the tomb were intentionally destroyed, but it is unclear whether this happened during the 12th-century reconstruction or in the final introduction of Reformation in 1616. The interior and exterior sculptures of the tomb are considered a masterwork of early Romanesque statuary art. The baptismal font from around 1150 came from a demolished Romanesque church in Alsleben.

In the main courtyard is the baptismal font used for Bolívar's baptism, originally located in Caracas Cathedral. The second courtyard serves as ventilation to the kitchen and other rooms, and includes a replica of a water fountain from the time of Bolívar. At the end of the house is a small pen-laundry and stable. Bedroom Among those which stand out are the main room, the bedroom (site where Simón Bolívar was born) and the cabinet, which occupy the front body of the building.

The duchess's rooms gave access to the Great Hall, most likely the former Knights' Chapter Hall in the northern corps. In addition to several smaller rooms, the second floor had a large dining room (presumably in the southern building) and a castle church. It housed an altar with two large brass candlesticks, a pulpit, a pulpit covered in white and black velvet, a wood-carved, gilded baptismal font, a duke's seat in front of the altar decorated with wood carvings, and a balcony with an organ.

The walls are finished in shiplap below the windowsill level; above that a chair rail sets off a finish of grooved rectangles similar to those on the exterior. alt=Wooden pews under a domed white ceiling with regular wooden vaults. Paintings and windows alternate along the walls At the northeast end the altar and baptismal font sit on a dais. Behind the altar is a round-arched alcove faced in shiplap below the springline; above it are the same block motif as the interior and exterior walls.

The church was repainted and a new lighting system installed. The new baptismal font of brass and iron has as its pedestal the old font turned upside down. A new stained glass window depicting the baptism of Christ in the Jordan faces the newly positioned font. The original pews, some made by Christian Brothers in the wood-work room of the old Intermediate Technical School, have been stripped to original timber and re-coated, and many have been altered to create the in-the-round effect.

Inside it is possible to see Roman monolithic columns, reused as support by Medieval builders. Coming back to the ground floor, in the right nave, can be seen an octagonal baptismal font for full immersion (rebuilt in 1889). Also on the right, closer to the presbytery, exposed is a beautifully painted wooden crucifix, namely "Holy Face", with a sculpture of martyred Jesus in characteristic long surplice (colobium) of oriental origin (dated to 12th century). Nearby stands the pulpit, also rebuild in 1889, from several remaining marble panels.

The church did not have a baptismal font until 1664 when it was provided by visiting parish priest António Pires de Serpa. On 4 October 1945, the church was damaged by an ocean swell (some say tsunami). Major damage also occurred on 1 January 1980 as a result of the Azores earthquake which affected many of the islands of the Central Group, destroying much of Angra do Heroísmo. Plans for remodelling were prepared in the late 1980s and the church was reopened in 1991.

Some parts of the original church, including the gate posts and antependium from the front of the altar are now at the Historical Museum in Bergen. A copy of this antependium (which is considered one of the great works of Norwegian medieval art) hangs today in the present church. The altar chalice, baptismal font, and the largest church bell in today's church all come from the old medieval stave church. The stave church was demolished in 1710, and a wooden cruciform church was built on the site.
|

In the right aisle, a sarcophagus was found during the renovation work after the 1990 earthquake near the statues of St. Nicholas of Bari, St. Francis of Paola (1867) and St. Roch the Confessor. In the transept of the right aisle is the canvas by Angelico Zarlenga dedicated to St. Vincent Ferrer, which commemorates the destruction of housing during World War II and the return of numerous prisoners from concentration camps. At the front of the same transept there is a baptismal font made of marble.

In about 1840 the abbey was given a new baptismal font and the original Norman font was cast out into the churchyard. It was later used as a cattle trough, and later used in a garden at nearby Kempsey. In 1912 a war memorial was erected on the site of the Victorian font and the old font was returned, on a pedestal designed by Harold Brakspear. The font is decorated with an interlacing arcade, in the panels of which are the figures of Christ and his Apostles.

Saxon evidence survives in the baptismal font rescued from use as a garden ornament and restored in 1932 for baptismal use in the church. The church is the burial place of several generations of Josiah Spode's family, as well as Josiah Wedgwood, who is also commemorated inside the church by a marble memorial tablet commissioned by his sons. The title of "Stoke Minster" was conferred on the church by The Rt Revd Jonathan Gledhill, Bishop of Lichfield, at a ceremony on 17 May 2005.

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1620, but the church was likely built in the 12th century, since that is when the church's baptismal font was made. The first church here was probably a stave church. In 1686, the old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new (small) timber-framed church on the same site. In 1846, the church was again demolished and in 1847 a new church was built on the same site.

Ljungby assembly belongs to Ljungby parish in the diocese of Växjö. The congregation was formed in the Middle Ages with their first stone church being built in the 12th century. Ljungby assembly's current church, Ljungby Church, was built between 1858–1859 and inaugurated on September 8, 1861, by bishop Henrik Gustaf Hultman. The newly built church had a bit of an austere interior, with the only inventory from the old demolished stone church being the middle aged baptismal font and the 18th century longcase clock.

Bridget was born to Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, the king and queen of England, in the royal manor house of Eltham, in Kent, now known as Eltham Palace, London, on 10 November 1480. She was baptised in the chapel there by Edward Story, the bishop of Chichester on 11 November 1480. Her godmothers at the baptismal font were her paternal grandmother, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, and her oldest sister, Elizabeth of York. Her godfather was the aged William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester.

Among examples of Romanesque sculpture is this church's baptismal font, which is Nordhorn's oldest artwork, made out of Bentheim sandstone, and still holds its original importance today. At present, two buildings characterize Nordhorn's skyline. The Alte Kirche on the marketplace, built out of Bentheim sandstone in the 15th century and the Augustinuskirche, built in 1913 on the former castle's lands, can both be seen from afar. The inner town, today as in days of yore an island around which flows the Vechte, is now a pedestrian precinct.

The oldest item in the church is the baptismal font, which probably dates from the construction of the church. It's comparable in style to baptismal fonts from the same time found on Jutland. The pulpit of the church dates from the 17th century and has wooden reliefs depicting the Four Evangelists. The altarpiece is from 1737 and made by an artisan from Helsingborg; its central piece is an oil painting showing the Last Supper, flanked by carved wooden columns and statuettes of Moses and Jesus.

To better simulate a church setting, the renovated lab incorporated a full-immersion baptismal font, fully furnished altar area, confessional, and pews. These 2004 renovations, endorsed by Cardinal Adam Maida, archbishop of Detroit, and led by rector Fr. Stephen Boguslawski, also included expanding office space so that faculty could be located in a more central place. A lower level quadrant, which formerly housed obsolete heating and cooling equipment and a laundry room, was demolished. Replacing this "dead space" were twelve new faculty offices and a reception alcove.

Cathedrals always have a font or water basin at which the rite of Baptism is performed, in which a person is formally accepted into the Christian church. The font is often placed towards the door because the Baptism signifies entry into the community of the church. In some cathedrals, most particularly in Italy, the rite of Baptism is performed in a separate building. The baptismal font at Lübeck Cathedral, Germany One of the functions of the cathedral is the reading and expounding upon the Holy Scripture.

The parish church, situated at the centre of the village, is dedicated to Saint Eusebio, Vercelli's bishop in the 4th century, and the Maccabees. It was extended during the 17th century. On the porch is a large mural representing the Virgin of Mercy. The plan is on a Latin cross with three chapels; the first contains the baptismal font; the second, located behind the pulpit, has an altar dedicated to the Lady of the Rosary, with statues of Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch at each side.

Copp brought with him a baptismal font, a gift from the S.P.G., which can be seen in the narthex of the current church. In 1758, the Colonial Assembly of Georgia divided the colony into eight parishes, with the parish in which Augusta was located being named for "The Parish Church and Burial Place of Saint Paul's." The original church building was of Gothic Revival architecture, but burned down during the American Revolutionary War. The fourth church was designed by architect John Lund in the colonial architecture style.

It consists of two naves covered by a barrel vault, lunettes and copulitas. The images that are venerated here are: Heart of Jesus, Immaculate, Virgin of Carmen, Virgin of the Pillar, Miraculous Virgin, Mary Helper of Christians, Saint Joseph, Saint Rita and Sweet Name of Jesus, all works in series and mostly uninteresting, except the Immaculate, dated from the 17th Century, which was brought to Herrera by Don Antonio Tineo Lara. The baptismal font is very simple. At the base it reads: Year 1692.

Bradshaw, 162-163 The Paschal candle is the center of the service of new fire, rather than a three- branched candle, the arundo, that existed only for use in this service; the congregation lights its own candles as well, a participatory innovation. The water is blessed in front of the congregation, not at the baptismal font. Among many detailed changes, only four of the Old Testament readings were kept. Then followed only the first part of the Litany of the Saints and possible baptisms.

The Parish of Saint Francis of Asisi used to have two very large naves constructed by the Franciscans, one nave for the Spanish and one for the indigenous people. All that is preserved from the 17th century are the baptismal font, the holy water font and a carving of Saint Francis which is located in a vaulted niche in the present-day main nave. Other, more recent features of the church include murals and Italian oil paintings. The main bell was cast during the Mexican Revolution.

Millsome Castle from Taw Green The parish church, is dedicated to Saint James and is grade I listed. Although it was rebuilt in the 15th century, with 16th additions, it has traces of a Norman window above the chancel, as well as other Norman features: carved stones in the walls, the baptismal font and a tympanum. There are old bench-ends, and 15th century glass. In the churchyard is the shaft of a late medieval cross made of granite which has lost its head.

Of the medieval inventories, only the 14th-century triumphal cross remains. The altarpiece and baptismal font both date from the 17th century. In the choir floor there also remain three medieval tombstones, and in the ground floor of the tower sits a pre-Christian picture stone with runic inscriptions. The picture stone tells the story of two men named Gairvatr and Audvatr who made a dolmen for their mother, and displays a picture showing the dead woman riding a sleigh towards the realm of the dead.
|
|
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1293, but it was not new that year. Around 1620, the old medieval church was torn down and a new church was built on the same site. It is possible that some of the materials from the old church were reused in the new building. The altarpiece was new in 1620, but the baptismal font is dated back to around the year 1300, so it was used in the old church as well.

By 1873 the chapel had been reconstructed, the cost being borne by the 3rd Earl of Eldon (1845–1926), who also presented the baptismal font. A service was held on 18 July 1874 to commemorate the reopening, at which Alfred Gibson, son of the chief boatman of the coastguards, was baptised. The chapel was used for regular services on Sunday evenings. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries regular weekly services were held, attended by coastguards and their families who lived in nearby cottages.

The rood screen is 15th-century and not well preserved. The baptismal font is 18th-century.The Pilgrim's Guide to Devon's Churches, Cloister Books (2008) pg 94 The reredos consists of glazed tiles in "robust Victorian colours". The adjacent war memorial is a Grade II listed building. Carved in dressed granite, it is a copy of St Martin’s Cross in Iona in Scotland and is dedicated to the members of the Bishop's Tawton Parish who died in World War I; it was unveiled and dedicated by the Revd.

Christow's Church of England parish church of St James the Apostle has a 12th-century Norman baptismal font but otherwise seems to be largely a 15th-century building. The west tower is a Gothic Survival addition of 1630 and has a ring of eight bells. John III and Christopher IV Pennington of Stoke Climsland, Cornwall cast a ring of six bells for the tower in 1785. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough, Leicestershire added a new treble and second bell in 1973, increasing the ring to eight.

Guide, pg3 The baptismal font has a plain octagonal Ham Hill bowl on a stem and a fine font cover which Nikolaus Pevsner believed was put together in the Elizabethan era. The font also dates to about 1550 and stands beneath a canopied tester made from pieces of Gothic and Renaissance carving including linenfold, figure panels, applied barley- sugar ribs and Gothic fretwork.Guide, pg2 The altar table with its pull-out leaves is late 16th-century and was restored in 1985. The communion rail is Elizabethan.

Amongst the changes they oversaw was the removal of the tower ceiling and the addition of stone vaulting, as originally featured in the medieval plans. Place was responsible for the design of the east window, based on Hawton church, and the original design for the choirstall canopies. The high quality of craftmanship at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries is demonstrated here, particularly in the carved wood and stained glass. Augustus Welby Pugin created the baptismal font, which dates from 1853.
|
|
A major renovation was completed on the church in 1973. On the night of 4 January 1975, a fire broke out in the church after it was struck by lightning, and the church burned down. The silver from the altarpiece and the baptismal font were saved from the old church and the church bell was salvaged after the fire. A new church on the same site was completed soon after, and on 3 October 1976, the new church building was consecrated by the Bishop Bjarne Odd Weider.

The West Window is by Kempe dating from 1885. The baptismal font at the west end of the church used to have a magnificently-carved suspended cover which collapsed in 1980. Also at the West End there is a Sacristy created in 1897 and a choir vestry. In the south aisle there is an Altar to St. Oswald & St. Thomas with a Triptych of St. Oswald and St. Thomas of Canterbury which was dedicated on All Saints Day 2005 in memory of Irene Waller.

Baptistery: Located adjacent to the main altar, the bapistery features a marble baptismal font, as well as dozens of wall and ceiling paintings with religious symbols and peoples. Father Baker Museum: During late 2009, construction began to create a small museum about Father Baker's life and the history of the Our Lady of Victory Institutions. It is located in the Basilica's basement, where the chapel and Father Baker Rooms were formerly located. A number of photos, official documents, vintage newspapers, and Baker's belongings are on display.

Evidence of settlement in the Neolithic Period (3700-3400 BC) was found at the ancient burial site in Linkardstown in 1943. The find consisted of a polygonal stone chamber paved with stones that sloped upwards and inwards. Inside was found the remains of a single human, along with some pottery. Linkardstown Church and Graveyard is now in ruins, but the old stone baptismal font used in the church and which dates from the 18th century now stands in the grounds of the modern St. Joseph's Church, Tinryland.
|
|
The baptismal font dates from the early 13th century, with the upper part painted over during the 18th century. It contains on the upper part reliefs depicting the flight into Egypt and the apostles, and on the base sculpted heads and beasts. The church also has a triumphal cross from the middle of the 13th century (painted over in the 1840s), and contains several medieval tombstones. Other furnishings are later, including the Neo-Gothic gallery (1870s), one of only a few such pieces on Gotland.

The majority of renovative efforts to restore St. Patrick Cathedral to its original condition was completed by Easter of 1996, yet periodic work has continued. The altar, baptismal font, statues and ambo were given new prominence, and a hardwood floor was installed. The dark oak wainscoting from the 1979 renovation was removed to brighten up the cathedral and make it appear as it did in 1939. Most recently, Stations of the Cross brought in from Maggie Valley, NC and a Celtic cross were added outside.

Oats were exported in the late 19th century, to a large extent, inter alia, to the London area (horse fodder). The Gestad area has been characterised by the words: "Heaven and oats". Church attendance has previously been high in Gestad. In the parish there are two churches belonging to the Church of Sweden - Gestad and Timmervik churches - and also a mission chapel that is of interest. In Gestad church, built 1796-1799 and consecrated in 1800, is a very old baptismal font ("dopfunt") in sandstone.

The floor slopes gently towards the altar. The baptismal font, altar, ambon and holy cross are all aligned along the major axis of the ellipse. The golden cross stands in front of a glass wall which separates it from the chancel. The church is thus constructed around its purpose of liturgical prayer: the altar, in the centre of the ellipse and thus of the whole building, is surrounded by two spaces for priests and laity, which come together like two hands in a prayer of collect.

Baptistery in the Basilica of St. John in Ephesus, Turkey Baptisteries belong to a period of the church when great numbers of adult catechumens were baptized and immersion was the rule. They did not seem to be common before the emperors Gratian, Valentinian, and Theodosius made Christianity the state religion in the Edict of Thessalonica (i.e. before the 4th century). As early as the 6th century, the baptismal font was commonly built in the porch of the church, before it was moved into the church itself.
|
|
The tower, the most recent element of the church (1960s), rises 70 meters above the ground and contains a chime of five cast bronze bells in Passau, Germany weighing nine tons. Inside, the spaces are divided by typically pointed Gothic arches. On the right side of the entrance is the Imperial Mausoleum and on the left side the baptistery, with the baptismal font of the former matrix of Petrópolis (1848). The choir of the church has a main altar made of Portuguese Lioz Limestone.
|
|
The depiction of the Madonna in the centre of the church dates from the early 16th century. There is a large, Baroque crucifix on the southern wall, which was originally part of an altar. The altar was placed on the northern external wall in 1732, but was removed in the 19th century. Further noteworthy elements of the church are a Gothic Baptismal font made of red marble (which dates to around 1500), an alms box decorated with rosettes, and a stoup (both date from the 17th century).
|
|
The baptismal font in the south aisle dates from around 1300, and consists of a square bowl with blank trefoiled pointed arch-heads, central shaft and four slimmer Purbeck shafts. There is also a hexagonal Jacobean carved wooden pulpit in the nave. The chancel altar and chapel altar are supported by columns of Elton ware, gift of Sir Edmund Elton, 8th Baronet, in 1895. The stained glass windows include a small early 14th-century figures of Christ Crucified and Christ in Majesty in south aisle.

Perhaps because Artabasdos' usurpation was interconnected with the restoration of veneration of images, Constantine now became perhaps an even more fervent iconoclast than his father. Constantine's derogatory epithet Kopronymos ("Dung-named": from kopros, "feces" or "animal dung"; and onoma, "name"), was applied to him by his avowed enemies over this extremely emotional issue, the iconodules. Using the obscene name they spread the rumour that, as an infant, he had defecated in his baptismal font, or the imperial purple cloth with which he was swaddled.

Therefore, it contains the bronze baptismal font from 1229 that had been moved to all parts of the cathedral before. The eastern crypt contains the bodies of almost ninety graves of bishops, archbishops, and other notables. Furthermore, it contains two sculptures from the western façade, the coronation of Saint Mary from the attic and the relic of the crucifixion from the southern central arch. St Peter's has several fine examples of artistic epitaphs for individuals that have survived the many restorations of the cathedral.

The three rows of seats on the dais were designed for comfort and a number of variations were considered before the final version was selected. There are also two elaborately carved chairs, one for the Moderator at Communion Services, the other at the pulpit. The communion table and the pulpit itself were also of elaborate design and included panels that bore carved emblems of the Presbyterian Church. The baptismal font had been previously gifted to the community and was transferred from the 1882 church.
|
|
The west doorway and five-light west window of the nave are also from this period, as is the base of the baptismal font. Late in the 14th century a chapel was added on the north side of the chancel, with an arch from the north transept. In the 15th century clerestories were added to the nave and both transepts, the aisles were re-roofed, an Easter Sepulchre was inserted in the chancel, the embattled south porch was built and parapets and gargoyles were added.
|
|
With the liturgical changes it was evident that the church was no longer adequate. Revamping of the sanctuary included placing the altar, the pulpit and the baptismal font closer to the people, painting of the vestibule, removal of the old confessionals and installation of two combination confessionals. Also conference rooms with air conditioning were built with speakers so that parents of little children could participate in Mass. The altar railings were removed and the floors were carpeted to keep the church warmer in the winter.

George William was christened on 10 May 1915 in Brunswick. The prince's godparents included Maria Christina of Austria, Prince Axel of Denmark, and Princess Olga of Hanover and Cumberland who held the infant prince over the baptismal font. From 1930 through 1934, Prince George William attended the elite boarding school Schule Schloss Salem in Überlingen on Lake Constance. Schule Schloss Salem was co-founded by the prince's uncle, the last Chancellor of the German Empire, Prince Maximilian of Baden, and educator Kurt Hahn in 1920.

A bible was presented by Mr and Mrs J. Gesler in 1943. In 1956 Charles Behrendorff made a baptismal font and a new altar was built in 1959. The pastors of the church (until 1988) were Christian Wilhelm Seybold, Rudolf Monz, Anton Hiller, Martin Frederick Prenzler, Alfred Hugo Schubert, Gerald David Dahlenberg, David Frederick Siegle, J. Perkins, R. Goldhardt, and K.D. Kotzur. The church subsequently closed and is in use as a private residence, but a notice over its doorway says "St John's Lutheran Church – Estd 1909".

The organ The baptismal font was made 1410 from bronze, possibly in Hildesheim. The main treasure of the Kreuzkirche is an altar which Lucas Cranach created and signed, probably before 1537. He made it for the Stiftskirche St. Alexandri in Einbeck, showing a central crucifixion scene, with St. Alexander und St. Felicitas on the side panels, the patron saints of Einbeck. The altar was owned next by the dukes of Braunschweig who placed it in the new Schlosskirche in the Leineschloss from 1666 to 1680.
|
|
The altar itself is made of carved stone, painted a neutral brown, with decorations echoing its surrounding decor and the stained glass window behind it. To its right is a memorial tablet to Maria Phillips, an early member of the church during colonial times. A similar memorial plaque to Irving is located on the wall next to a baptismal font in the north transept. It is made of Dorchester stone with columns of Aberdeen granite and Caen stone, depicting the symbolic holly of Irving's coat of arms.

These are the oldest still-functioning organ pipes of Alsace.Orgue de Rouffach, Notre-Dame The rose window of the façade (14th century) is, by the number of lancets composing it (20) as well as by overall design, the most complex in Alsace, before the much larger one of Strasbourg Cathedral, which has only 16 lancets. Apart from the baptismal font, the tabernacle and the tombstone of the knight Werner Falk, all three in an ornate Gothic style, the rest of the interior furnishing is mainly Neo-Gothic.
|
|
The church is dominated by its choir apse with the fresco The Ascension, painted by Eilif Peterssen in 1908–1909. It was created in close collaboration with Domenico Erdmann. Over the altar, in front of the fresco, is a marble baldachin designed by Bødtker. The pulpit was also designed by Bødtker, and the baptismal font is from the company Johs Grønseth & Co. The stained glass dates from 1915–1915; it was designed and created by various artists, including Gabriel Kielland and Karl Kristiansen (1886- 1971).
|
|
The façade is made with regular joists in travertine and is the result of a restoration of the 1920s. Inside, the baptismal font (also in travertine) and parts of the 14th-century fresco are adorned with figures of saints. The portal is surmounted by a bezel and a double, very elaborate mullioned window, above which is another, smaller window in the shape of a cross. To the left of the bezel, one of the stones forming the wall has an inscription that testifies to the date of consecration.

The oil that is used to anoint the catechumens before baptism is simple olive oil which is blessed by the priest immediately before he pours it into the baptismal font. Then, using his fingers, he takes some of the blessed oil floating on the surface of the baptismal water and anoints the catechumen on the forehead, breast, shoulders, ears, hands, and feet. He then immediately baptizes the catechumen with threefold immersion in the name of the Trinity. Anointing of the sick is called the "Sacred Mystery of Unction".

The oldest source confirming the coat-of-arms as an official symbol is a genealogy of the Habsburgs dating during 1512–18. In 1525 it was used on a votive medal. The oldest known example of the (chessboard in Croatian) in Croatia is to be found on the wings of four falcons on a baptismal font donated by king Peter Krešimir IV of Croatia (1058–1074) to the Archbishop of Split. Unlike in many countries, Croatian design more commonly uses symbolism from the coat of arms, rather than from the Croatian flag.

Interior of the current church (2014). The current church was built during the 1960s and has retained most of the external characteristics of the old church. Inside the church are the few remaining objects of the destroyed church like the statue of St. Mark, two of the large candlesticks that are to the left and right of the pedestal of the statue, the Holy Cross, the small marble baptismal font and other smaller objects. The small marble font stood at the entrance to the old church and was used for holy water rites.

The abbey is famous for the Ebstorf Map, a mappa mundi from the 13th century. The original was burned during a bombing raid in 1943 on Hanover. However a faithful copy of the original can be seen in the monastery. Other points of interest are the medieval stained glass windows in the Nonnenchor (nun's choir), the statues of the Virgin Mary in the cloisters which date from the 13th to 15th centuries, a figure of Saint Maurice, the patron saint of the house, a baptismal font dating from 1310 and a pulpit built in 1615.

The prehistoric megalithic temple was reused as a baptistery, with the font placed in the middle of the ancient structure. The church, or at least its structure, remained in use until the 8th-9th centuries. A fortified wall with at least one tower was built around part of the site, possibly as a response to the Arab threat. More than two hundred Byzantine coins were found in the drain of the baptismal font, dating from the mid-4th century, the reforms by Justinian (538-9) and a gold coin dated to Constantine IV.

The aforementioned altarpiece still stands behind the main altar and is adorned with statues depicting, on the central panel, the Holy Virgin with the infant Christ, and on each side of her statues of James the Greater and James the Lesser. The baptismal font is also medieval, as are two separate sculptures of saints. The pulpit is one of the oldest in Norrland, and Baroque in style. The rood screen with its ornamented obelisks dates from the mid-18th century, while two more free-standing sculptures come from an altarpiece made in the 1880s.
|
|
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1319, but the baptismal font is dated back to the 12th century, so the church was likely built around that time. The first church was a stave church located about north of the present church. In 1640, the church was renovated and expanded with a new nave being built on the west side of the building and the old nave became the choir and sacristy. In 1855, a new timber-framed church was constructed about south of the old building.

From these leads to a door that went into the sacristy and the bell tower. From this church comes the altarpiece of the Master Paroto stored at New York City, signed and dated 1447 (or 1444).Millard Meiss, "An early Lombard altarpiece", Arte antica e moderna 13/16 (1961:125-33), The large baptismal font inside the church is probably formed from the basin of a Roman or early medieval wine press.‘Sulle orme dei camuni’, Valcamonica: escursioni, Banca Popolare di Sondrio.

The side aisles also contain twenty-four similar statues of selected saints, including one niche that stands in reserve for Reverend Thomas Price, Servant of God, the first native-born North Carolinian to be ordained a Catholic priest. His Cause for Beatification and Canonization is currently under review in Rome. The fourteen Stations of the Cross seen throughout the Nave and Transept aisles are restored, painted wood, of a similar vintage as the windows. The baptismal font is located at the western end of the Nave, on the axis of symmetry.

St John's Anglican Church in Ross, Tasmania The town of Ross has three churches, all located on elm-lined Church Street. The Uniting Church, situated prominently on the hilltop, was built in 1885 and is noted for its blackwood pews and carved baptismal font. The Roman Catholic Church building was originally a store and was converted in the 1920s in Gothic revival style. St John's Anglican Church, on the corner of Badajos Street, was built in 1868 and contains a 100-year-old pipe organ, an oak lectern and a stone pulpit.
|

No stained glass had been introduced into the church since 1541, but in 1889 the central light of the east window was filled with Munich glass and in 1894 more stained glass was inserted. In 1552 the church possessed a pair of organs. A barrel organ had been introduced in 1813, although the innovation was not welcomed by all the parishioners, and a new organ was built in the chantry in 1889. The square baptismal font dates from the 13th century and has 14th century panelling on the pier.

Today, Rosary Chapel continues to be used for Sunday and daily masses as well as university events. During an $850,000 renovation in 2003, the chapel was repainted and air conditioning was installed, a new sound system was added and adjustable light fixtures and flexible seating were installed. A new color palette helped create an uplifting space. The original pews, carved by German immigrant Louis Marks, were removed, but many of his original hand- carved details, including shields and roses, were reused in the designs for a new altar, baptismal font, ambo and tabernacle stand.

He also assumed the workshop of his master along with a brother-in-law, Lukas von der Auwera. He created several utilitant items over the next several years including a console table (1759), the altar to the Augustinerkirche, Würzburg (1760), the altar and baptismal font to the Stadtpfarrkirche of St Maria and St Regiswindis, Gerolzhofen, Schweinfurt. He collaborated with Lukas von der Auwera between 1763 and 1766 on the Vierröhren Fountain, Würzburg carving the figures. In 1766 he moved on to a purely aesthetic work depicting the Crucifixion for a church in Kürnach.

The baptismal font dates to 1916 View down the nave towards the chancel The original St Sabinus' Church was a small building known as the "Iron Church" erected about 200 yards up the hill out of Woolacombe. This catered for the increasing numbers of Victorian tourists who were regular visitors to the village and was extended in 1895 to include a chancel. This church was funded by the Chichester Family whose country seat was at Arlington Court 15 miles away. An appeal was launched to raise funds for a permanent church for the town.

The lancet-shaped windows, including the three slender windows in the east wall of the choir, are all original. The choir portal has decoration similar to that of Hellvi Church and has been attributed to a stonemason named Lavrans Botvidarsson. Internally, the church is decorated by murals; one set dating from circa 1250 and another, by the so- called Master of the Passion of Christ (Passionsmästaren), from the 15th century. There are two baptismal font in the church; one from the 13th century, the other is baroque and from 17th century.

Surmounted on the main altar is a statue of St. Lucy holding up her eyes on the palm of her hand. The stained glass windows when lit by sunlight create a panorama of colour further enhancing the transepts of the church. In a far corner of the church is a circular baptismal font of white marble carved with cherubs, and crowned by a statue of John the Baptist. On going up the narrow staircase that leads to the choir loft, one encounters 'Anthony Thomas', an enormous bell weighing 4300 lbs.

Nave with the baptismal font at its entrance after the restoration On 18 September 2011 the cathedral ruins were opened to the public for the first time since the devastating Christmas Day fire, with thousands of people showing up to view the cathedral. In 2012 Fine Gael TD James Bannon asked Bishop Colm O'Reilly to reconsider selecting an Italian organ maker to rebuild the organ in the Cathedral. A new altar was consecrated in March 2014, the cathedral re-opened on Christmas Eve 2014. The restoration project cost €30 million.

In 1956, a baptismal font was donated by Mr. Jose Pablo and Company On July 11, 1958, the marble main altar was consecrated by Cardinal Santos. Inside the tomb of the main altar were the relics of Saint Matias the Apostle, Saint Irmina and Saint Maria Goretti. The "Descent of the Holy Spirit" upon the apostles on the ark in the sanctuary was painted by Mr. Jose Santos. A beautiful Monstrance which was made in 1899 and church ceiling with Gothic design were donated by the relatives of Fr. Matias.

Kula became discouraged, owing to the parish debt, and a want of correspondence with his well-intended efforts on the part of some of his parishioners. Kula left , and was immediately succeeded by Father Paul Cwiakala, who in a very short time gained the love and confidence of his people. During 1896 an organ and an elegant baptismal font were secured -- the former the gift of a church society, the latter donated by a parishioner. The pews were also repainted and a good supply of church vestments, etc.

The central part of the façade was built in the 14th century, while the façade of an aisle was erected in the 15th century. The bell tower was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, with an interruption during the Hundred Years War. The great nave and the first three bays date back to the 15th century, while the side aisles with the baptismal font were added in the 18th century. In the 19th century, the bell tower was restored after its spire was destroyed by lightning in 1808.

Although he was barely 25 years old at the time, Gísli was named bishop of Hólar following his father's death in 1656 and was consecrated in Copenhagen in 1657. In large part, Gísli's appointment came from his family's reputation; his grandfather (Guðbrandur Þorláksson) and his father both preceded Gísli as bishop. Between Guðbrandur, Þorlákur, and Gísli, the family served as bishop of Hólar for 113 years. Gísli was known for his interest in art, and he commissioned several pieces for the church, including the baptismal font carved by for the Hólar Cathedral.

In 1981, a small shrine of St. Basil was added in the vestibule to commemorate the parish's 125th anniversary. Under the direction of Fr. Chris Valka, CSB, the most recent extensive renovations (2014–17), saw several pews at the rear of the nave removed to create space for a baptistery area and a new baptismal font. This area now includes two Reconciliation Rooms reconstructed from the wood used in the original confessionals. The statues of the Sacred Heart and the Pieta have been moved to the rear of the nave.

Located on the eastern side of the cross is a large granite baptismal font (130 × 73 cm; 4′3″ × 2′5″) which is believed to be pre-Norman. Local tradition claimed that water from the font could cure headaches. It is generally accepted that the use of fonts within churches became firmly established during the 12th century in Ireland, reflecting the move to a parochial and diocesan organisation of the church and the changes in liturgical conventions that this brought. It was required that the sacraments take place in a fixed baptistery inside a church.

Floorplan of the Nauvoo Temple basement The basement of the Nauvoo Temple was used as the baptistry, containing a large baptismal font in the center of the main room. The basement was accessed by spiral staircases at the northwest and southwest corners of the temple. The staircase landing was made of wood and opened to a short hallway heading east, leading to the basement proper. Between the two hallways was an unfinished room sealed off from the rest of the temple, containing an old well that had been dug but never used.

The Salt Lake Temple is also the location of the weekly meetings of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. As such, there are special meeting rooms in the building for these purposes, including the Holy of Holies, which are not part of other temples. The temple includes some elements thought to evoke Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem. It is oriented towards Jerusalem and the large basin used as a baptismal font is mounted on the backs of twelve oxen, as was the Molten Sea in Solomon's Temple (see Chronicles 4:2–4).
|
|
The baptismal font dates to 1867 and its fine carvings around the bowl depict Noah's Ark and the dove sent out to find land. Also around the bowl are carved the words of Jesus, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God". The church organ with its hand- cranked pianolo roll was originally in a private home but was donated to the church where it was installed in 1907. It has a range of fifty-six notes and was rebuilt in 2002.

Internal walls are of vertically jointed boards and window units consist of three timber framed lancets with pale green leadlight glazing, some of which have stained glass inserts. Pointed arches form the western door and vestry doors, and the highly intact interior contains original pews, some altar furniture and storage cupboards. A round stone baptismal font is positioned at the western end of the nave and fluorescent lighting has been attached to the underside of the tie-beams. The internal walls and ceiling of the vestry are lined with fibro panels with timber cover strips.
|
|
Surrounding buildings are 5-6 stories which roughly corresponds to the height of the church tower but while the area is dominated by red brick buildings, the church is made of light gray limestone from Faxe. The structure architecturally presents a monumental appearance with a tall superstructure, dominating tower, large windows, baluster and wide granite stairs. It has a clean, puritanical appearance with few decorations and an open tower with free hanging bells. The church interior is minimalist with few decorations, a wide hall in the nave and a small elevation to the baptismal font.
|
|
It has seating for about 100 people, and is a "simple and relatively plain building", though it incorporates stonework from the old church at Reculver.; The medieval baptismal font in the church is probably from the former chapel of All Saints, Shuart, on the Isle of Thanet, which was demolished in the 15th century. . A war memorial stands at the northern edge of the churchyard, facing into the adjacent Reculver Lane, and records the names of 27 parishioners who died fighting in the First World War and the Second World War.

|
Aesthetically it is mostly in the Shingle Style of the late 19th century. Its use of medieval lines anticipates some aspects of the American Craftsman style that would become prominent within a decade of its construction. It was used as a church until 1975. At that point many of the overtly religious aspects of the interior, such as the pews, organ, baptismal font, altar and the three stained glass windows in the rear triptych (the only ones in the building to have religious imagery on them) were sold.

Stradów also has a wooden church of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, which was founded in 1657 by Voivode of Kraków, Wladyslaw Myszkowski. It was built in the spot of an earlier church from 1326, which was burned down in 1656, during the Swedish invasion of Poland. In the 19th century, the church, which is famous for the painting of Our Lady of Stradów, was remodelled and expanded. Inside there is a stone baptismal font (17th century), several paintings (17th and 18th centuries), Baroque equipment and silver dress of Our Lady of Stradów (1879).
|
|
The interior also contains numerous marble tablets and memorials, pulpit, baptismal font and lectern of fine quality. A chapel in the north-eastern corner of the nave honours Mavis Parkinson and contains an altar faced with New Guinea tapa cloth and a small bamboo cross in a glass case. The rectory is a lowset timber building with verandahs on all sides and a fine projecting pedimented entrance porch to the east overlooking the town centre and d'Arcy Doyle Place. Walls are of chamferboard and the hipped roof is clad in corrugated galvanised iron.
|
|
The most important properties of the church are the baptismal font (1624) and the altar of Our Lady from 15th century. There are also fifteen stops of the way of the cross by the academic sculptor Karel Stádník who also created the sculpture Man of Sorrows, which can be found standing near the southern wall of the chancel, very close to the baptistery. On the other side of the chancel, there is a wooden baroque pulpit. The pulpit is decorated with the boards of Ten Commandments and the sculpture of Jesus Christ at the top.

The abbey church was reopened for services in 1722, but the new owner, Finance Minister Koes, ordered the church to be pulled down and the materials used to rebuild his manor at Falkenstein. In 1774, lands at Anvorskov were broken into nine large estates, which passed into the hands of local noble families. In 1799, State Minister Bruun bought the remaining estate, divided it into four parcels, and sold them off. Several of the fixtures from the monastery were transferred to nearby Saint Peter's Church, including an altar and a baptismal font.

|
In the lower areas of the apse, some of the original church can be glimpsed. The church is notable for housing an early Lombard Romanesque marble cross (dated 848), originally from a nearby oratory. The cross is engraved with intricate interlace designs and latin script dating it to the rule of Emperor Ludwig's son, Lothair I. The church has a baptismal font carved from the spolia of a late-Roman capital, as well as works by the Gandolfi family and the School of Guido Reni.Tourismo in Pianura, tourism office for province of Bologna.
|
|
In the choir and the apse are depictions of the Last Judgment dating from the 14th century and in the nave, murals from the middle of the 15th century depicting the Passion of Christ and two saints: Saint George and the Dragon and Saint Martin. There is also a rune inscription on the western wall of the choir, a repetition of the futhark or runic "alphabet". Among the furnishings, the triumphal cross from the end of the 12th century is noteworthy. The baptismal font has a Romanesque foot but a later (14th century) basin.
|
|
The church was built in the 18th century, but had to be rebuilt in the 20th century after it was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). The baptismal font, where Goya was baptized, is still preserved in the church. Before the war, there were paintings in the Sacristy cupboard Goya produced when he was young and the baroque altarpiece gilded by his father. When it was constructed it was the church for the wealthy families, since there was another, smaller church in the "El Calvario" neighbourhood; only some remnants of this church remain.
|
|
The dominant wall paintings are consequently designed by Haig. A few stained glass windows remain but were complemented by modern replicas during the renovation. The furnishings of the church are still largely medieval: an altarpiece from the early 14th century, a triumphal cross and baptismal font, both from the middle of the 13th century, and a carved wooden Madonna from circa 1500 are all in their original milieu. The organ is an elaborate Gothic Revival piece, made for the renovation in 1902 and inspired by medieval French organs.

Ivetofta Church was probably built in the 12th century; the tower (built in stone and decorated with carved sandstone) on the western side was added in the 13th century. The altar, pulpit, pews and the baptismal font were donated by Sophia Brahe in the early 17th century, who had moved to the area with her second husband and was known for her work in Danish genealogy. These features have been retained in the renovated church. Brahe had planned on being buried there but returned to her native Denmark, settling in Helsingør before she died.

|
A large, 14th-century muniment chest, four hatchments to the Blundell family and a series of carved wooden pews are located in the north and south chapels. The octagonal baptismal font which is 15th-century and out of place in the West end of the church, lacks its original painted decoration but has received a plain wooden cover dated 1688. Oak boards painted in gold leaf displaying the Ten Commandments and Apostles' Creed hang in the tower and date to a similar period. These would have originally hung on the East wall behind the altar.

Henry was the first child of William Cavendish- Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland, and his wife Henrietta (née Scott). His father was the grandson of William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire, while his mother, Henrietta, was one of three daughters and heiresses born to Scottish General John Scott. Upon their marriage, the family name became Cavendish- Scott-Bentinck. In honour of the birth of his first grandson, the Third Duke of Portland commissioned the Portland Baptismal Font, the only known gold font commissioned for private use in England.

As there is not enough natural light coming in through them, they are backlit with LED lights. They include images of Jesus with children, Saint Clare of Assisi, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Jesus in the carpenter's shop, Saint Maria Goretti, and Christ the Good Shepherd. The image of Jesus with children is placed near the baptismal font and the image of the Good Shepard is near the confessional. All the windows retain the names of the original donors and they have all been restored by Lyn Harvey Studios of Boston.

It was painted green and has a floral pattern in relief. The altar had a large niche at center that once housed an image of Our Lady of Victory. Oval-shaped oculi are placed to the left and right of the high altar; the left of the chancel had a door to the ossuary, and the right of the chancel opened to the right- side sacristy. The lavabo dated to the 18th-century and was composed of Lioz limestone and the baptismal font was of Carrara marble, all imported from Portugal.

Baptism of Christ on the Liège font. Another view of the font Renier de Huy (or Rainer of Huy) (also Reiner, van, etc. in any combination) was a 12th- century metalworker and sculptor to whom is attributed a major masterpiece of Mosan art, the baptismal font at St Bartholomew's Church, Liège in Liege, Belgium of 1107–18.Swarzenski, 58, Calkins, 125 The Meuse River valley in modern Belgium and France, roughly comprising the Diocese of Liège, was the leading 12th century centre of Romanesque metalwork, which was still the most prestigious medium in art.

St Walburga Church, 1565 The church's history predates the 8th century. The very first chapel built within the walls on the right bank of the Scheldt dates from 727, and was destroyed by the Normans in 836. In 900 a new burcht is built on the same spot with a new church, dedicated to Saint Walpurga, next to the fortress Het Steen. Under the direction of the Affligem monks the church is rebuilt in 1250, and in 1478 it becomes a parish church, also receiving a baptismal font and the right to bury.

St Philip's Anglican Church, 2020 St Philip's Anglican church at 115 Cornwall Street in Thompson Estate (as the area was then known) was dedicated on 18 October 1886 by Archbishop of Brisbane William Webber. It was designed by architect John Henry Burley and was built by J.W. Stranson. The church bell was a gift of Abraham Fleetwood Luya and the baptismal font was the gift of stonemason Andrew Lang Petrie. On 7 December 1905 the church was "reduced to ruin" by a severe storm which caused extensive flooding and the death of two children.
|
|
The baptismal font, on an ornately carved tripod stand, dates back to 1667. The pulpit is typical for a Dutch Reformed Church, where the minister stands higher than the congregation on a richly ornamented wooden structure. On the walls of the Church are many mural tablets while there are many more built into the external walls. The floor is paved with granite flagstones (purportedly brought from Holland) interdispersed with engraved tombstones, of those who lie buried within the church or whose remains were relocated from the Kasteel Kerk.

Bavarian-born Johannes Kirchmayer executed the intricate wood carving, notable in particular on the rood screen. The stained glass windows (including a large window at the back of the sanctuary above the baptismal font) were created by the noted firm of C.E. Kempe in London. The high altar also features monmunental stone figures and a carved Caen stone reredos inspired by examples in Winchester Cathedral and St. Alban's in England. The church's Solemn High Mass (11:00am Sundays) is locally notable for its fine choral music and beautiful liturgy.

In 1875 Victor Guérin described it: “In the middle of a deep and broad ravine the 'Wady el Huzir rises, a sort of rocky islet lying north and south. Oblong and narrow, it serves as the site of a village called Kh. Selem, which contains a population of 130 Metawileh.”Guérin, 1880, p. 266; translated by Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. 88 He further noted: “Here are found the remains of an ancient church, such as cut stones, shafts more or less broken, and a circular baptismal font.

Between the nave and each aisle is a row of five black marble clustered columns, with high moulded arches. The nave is lighted by a large west window and five clerestory windows, while the aisles each have four windows. The choir has a groined ceiling with fine tracery and a central group of cherubs. The baptismal font is medieval and the ancient stone of enthronement for bishops still exists under the seat of the medieval throne in the North Transept, where to this day the bishops of Ossory are enthroned.

It is paneled and inset with a bold Greek fret in its frieze. This appears to have been adapted from a design found in the Practical House Carpenter of Asher Benjamin, a popular builders' pattern book first published in 1830; with numerous other details, most especially the building's architraves, it indicates Cosby's familiarity with the popular architectural styles of the day. Near the pulpit is a baptismal font of marble. Also remaining in the church are two wood-burning stoves, elaborate constructions in cast iron, bearing the maker's mark of "Leibrandt & McDowell, Philadelphia & Baltimore".

Holt Church probably dates from the twelfth century and it has an ancient baptismal font. The interior was decorated by Torsten Hoff. Around 1600, Tvedestrand was mainly a harbour for the Berge and Tveite farms’ boats, hence the name Tvedestrand (strand means beach or coast in Norwegian). Lyngør was the site of the Battle of Lyngør between English and Dano-Norwegian forces during the Napoleonic Wars resulting in the sinking of the frigate of the Dano-Norwegian forces, Najaden by the British ship-of-the-line Dictator in 1812.

The octagonal baptismal font with its carving of an angel, which is now at Prosperous church, came from Killybegs. During penal times there was a Mass-house in the townland of Goatstown which is north of the Grand Canal. When the town of Prosperous was built, a Catholic church was erected near the cross-roads close to the present Drama Hall. This church was replaced by the present limestone church in 1869.The Church Bell Thomas Harris (1895 – 18 February 1974) was a prominent Fianna Fáil politician from the town.

Wooden pews, each slightly shorter in length than the preceding one as they approach the chancel are placed on the terra cotta tile floors. The altar is unadorned and hewn from a single block of marble. The tabernacle was also designed by Aalto, although it is not in its original location. A slightly sunken hexagonal baptistery is appended to the northwest corner of the church, that has a large pyramidal skylight placed over the baptismal font as well as a vertical slit window viewing the river Reno, which flows by the church to the north.

The Burgerhuis foundry at Middleburg, Zeeland, the Netherlands supplied many bells as well as clocks to Scottish churches and town halls in the 17th century, including the bells at Benvie and Lundie nearby. The church has an oak baptismal font with a brass plaque bearing the names of the nine men and one woman from Liff who died in the Second World War. The railing round the sanctuary was designed in 1932 by Ian Roger Dalgetty, a son of Arthur B. Dalgetty, author of the history of Liff Church and Parish.

The front of the organ was designed by Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz in 1774 while the present 50-stop organ is from 1927. A second organ was added in 1986 and in the choir is a third smaller organ.Maria Magdalena Parish The baptismal font dates back to 1638 and among the sacramental vessels which survived the fire in 1759, is the oldest effects of the church - a sacramental pan in copper with capital inscriptions. Among the epitaphs in the church are one dedicate to Christopher Polhem and another to Carl Michael Bellman.

The Students' Union (SU) was first housed in the original chapel and had a bar where the Baptismal font used to be. The SU was then moved to another building and the old chapel was converted into a lecture hall. After that SU building burnt down several years ago, the SU was moved to its current location in J-building. The building has a fully licensed bar with screens for viewing sporting events, and the SU hall underwent £50,000 of refurbishment in 2011 to convert it into an SU common room.

The baptismal font was created in copper by the bell maker, Peter Hansen of Flensborg, in 1481. It was a gift of Bishop Jens Ivarsen Lange, (d. 1482) who just two years earlier had given the great altar piece to St Clements. The font stands on the heads of the four evangelists in human form, but with the heads of the animals that often symbolize the four gospels in ecclesiastic art: John is eagle-headed, Mark is lion-headed, Luke bears the head of an ox, while Matthew alone has the head of a man.

Magleby Church baptismal font The church was originally built in the Romanesque style in the second half of the 13th century. The rounded tops of bricked-in windows from this period can still be seen on either side of the nave. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the church was converted to the Gothic style with cross vaults, Gothic windows and a number of additions and extensions. The tower which dates back to the older parts of the church originally had a twin top but was later covered with a roof.
|
|
The building was opened and dedicated by Bishop Webber on 18 September 1891. The new church/hall building was placed on a different location within the allotment to the existing church as this continued in use while the hall was built. Some furnishings were transferred, including a stone baptismal font donated to the first chapel by Andrew Petrie. Due to the financial constraints under which the church was operating, and the original perception of the place as principally serving as a Sunday School, many of the furnishings of the church were added later.
|
|
Yepes also ordered the replacement of a church lamp that had fallen, and obtained the stained glass windows, three new bells, a new baptismal font, and the picture of Blessed Mariano of Jesús Euse Hoyos. He restored marble tiles in the temple, which were in terrible condition. Additionally, in an initiative by Yepes and the Municipal Council of Culture, in August 2000 the remains of poet Epifanio Mejía were moved from the San Pedro Cemetery in Medellín to the Basilica. The gravestone was designed by Martín Villegas Alzate of Yarumal.

It incorporates materials from the demolished church at Reculver, its baptismal font is probably from the medieval All Saints' Church, Shuart, that once stood on the Isle of Thanet, and it is included in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed building. The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Reculver, is an active parish church in the diocese of Canterbury, the archdeaconry of Canterbury and the deanery of Reculver. Its benefice is united with those of St Bartholomew, Herne Bay, and Holy Cross, Hoath.
