Bainton

St Andrew's
SE 965 523
bainton.jpg
A large church mostly rebuilt in the Victorian era but maintaining some parts of interest from its Romanesque origins.
It has a good Romanesque font with a diamond pattern, even a mistake by the mason is evident. There are many mason's marks around
the church.
One of the piscinas has a green man in its corner. There is also a sedilia and piscina in the sanctuary.
Outside there are plenty of carved heads incuding one with its fingers in its mouth. Is it a face-puller or a fool, fingers in the mouth was often
used as a sign of a fool.
