  1. There is a beautiful lead font that is said to be the best of the 30 or so lead fonts still to be found in British churches.  It is probably the only font in England to feature Zodiac signs and monthly labours. The top band of reliefs shows the signs of the Zodiac, whilst the arcades underneath contain representations of a typical activity for each month. This lead font can be found in Saint Augustine’s Church, Brookland, in the Romney Marshesof Southern England.
