Rendcomb, Gloucestershire, Photos of St Peter Church

which has become a school. The chief interest at Rendcomb is the fabulous 12th
century font.

St Peter's church. The cross in the foreground is of recent origin but the base of the cross may date to the 8th century.
18th century memorial stone in the churchyard
This table tomb shows flanking carved figures of the devil and a skeleton.
The glory of Rendcomb is the 12th century font.
There are 12 carved figures around the circular font bowl, each showing the distinctive sign of one of the apostles.
The detail of the carvings is exquisite, and in an excellent state of repair.
More of the font carvings. A similar font is located in Hereford Cathedral.
One intriguing apostle figure on the font is blank, save for the feet. This is likely a portrayal of Judas.
Three 12th century pillars are retained in the rebuilt 16th century north wall.
