- Caption
- Holy water stoup, now under the chancel arch and used as a flowerpot. This originally stood by the door, where worshippers would have ritually washed before entering the church. It is much older than the church and possibly even pre-Saxon. It represents hands around a pregnant belly and has snake feet. Kilpeck Church, Herefordshire, England. Constructed in 1140 and famed for its beautifully preserved Romanesque sculpture. More photos: www.sacred-destinations.com/england/kilpeck-church-photos...
