This font rocks!

During a World of Water field trip we visited some nearby local springs and fonts. This work of art  (above), carved in grey sandstone  nearly 1000 years ago, has a wooden lid made in 1905.  It’s at the Strawberry Hill Gothic church at Shobden and you can read more about it on page 19 at:  https://www.woolhopeclub.org.uk/sites/default/files/inline-files/Fonts%20in%20Herefordshire%20George%20Marshall%20text_0.pdf

Two interesting reports on water’s role in religion and belief through the ages are:

A University of Cambridge study by Dr Anastasia R. Badder: Water and/in religious relations:

and

Religious approaches to water management and environmental conservation by
Emilio Chuvieco.

World of Water NEWS:

We are looking for volunteers to join us as we research a new exhibition celebrating the importance of water within all religions.

Join us on this extraordinary journey and play a pivotal role in educating, inspiring, and engaging visitors from all walks of life.
