Tytherton Lucas, Wiltshire

Norman carved font at Tytherton Lucas, Wiltshire

Another lovely Norman font, this time at St Nicholas's church at Tytherton Lucas. The church was locked with no information about a key, but to soothe me B had the ingenious idea of taking a photo through a window. She felt this was final proof (if proof were necessary) of escalating obsession.

The church looked old and interesting but the locals don't sound very friendly. Don't dream about walking up their drive to it, ooh no, you must clamber through the thistle-infested field adjacent, as instructed. Imagine how much money it must have cost to get this sign made:




Like, because otherwise visitors would be streaming like army ants up to the church?? Yeah whatever.
