Fonts

View All

Fonts are often placed at or near the entrance of the nave because the rite of baptism is the first initiation into the Church and reminds believers of their journey. The variety of fonts in Norfolk is huge. They may be round, heptagonal, square... They may feature religious figures, sacraments, beasts, patterns... Think how many baptisms a Norfolk font has seen over its 1000 year history!

St Mary’s, Burnham Deepdale
St Edmund’s, Caistor St Edmund
St Peter and St Paul’s, Shernborne
St Lawrence’s, Castle Rising
St Swithin’s, Frettenham

Pulpits

From the Latin 'pulpitum', the 'pulpit' is the platform from where a preacher addresses the congregation. Whilst some pulpits can be austere, some are very ornate. In this gallery we've picked a selection of pulpits to highlight the range there is to see in Norfolk.

St Margaret’s, Garveston
