EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite details of Swimbridge Font in St James Church, located in the picturesque village of Swimbridge, North Devon. The font, dating back to the Renaissance period, is a true masterpiece with its lead-lined bowl and unique wooden casing resembling a pulpit. The font consists of three tiers, each adorned with beautifully panelled designs. The lower tier features plain panels while the middle tier showcases intricately decorated ones that can be opened to reveal the top part of the font. This particular detail is wonderfully captured in this image. Topping off the font are plain panels embellished with elegant pinnacles and an open crown above them. A large rectangular canopy completes this remarkable structure. In addition to showcasing this magnificent font, other elements within St James Church are also visible in the background. A restored chancel screen from 1880 stretches across the church while an angel statuette gracefully perches on a wooden bar above it. Furthermore, Renaissance-style carvings adorn the ends of pews in striking fashion. E M Booty's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only these architectural wonders but also their historical significance as part of Swimbridge's medieval parish church.
