St Michael the Archangel

This is the water font at the back of my church.

It is beautiful.

A little info on the font (copied from the parish website!)

The statue of St. Michael the Archangel with the holy water fonts (at the entrance to the middle aisle) was donated by the Gordon family to commemorate Father Michael Gordon who was killed at Coxyde in Belgium in 1917 while serving as an Army chaplain. The memorial is the work of Eric Gill who had been received into the church in 1913. It consists of a Statue of St Michael the Archangel, sword in hand, preparing to strike the serpent coiled around his feet. The pedestal has the prayer to St Michael on the front panel and the commemoration of Father Michael Gordon on the back. The serpent is painted in black, yellow and red ? according to local tradition the most diabolical combination of colours ? but also in reality the national colours of Belgium where Father Michael was killed.
