The font in a field; a 15th-century font repurposed as a sundial and left standing in a graveyard now frequented by sheep after St Edith's Church, South Reston (Lincolnshire) was demolished around it in 1982.pic.twitter.com/8yTkNwXuyF

I love the re-use of the font, your photos of it are great too. :)
Thanks! It's a fascinating reuse, not sure anyone much other than the sheep use it, however! :)
Love this. Currently looking at retiring two fonts and being told that they must 'be broken up and buried' because of their sacramental purpose - which, frankly, I think is ridiculous!
That seems Ike a real waste and shame :(
