St Bartholomew’s,
#Lostwithiel #Cornwall

14th C octagonal spire on a square tower. Broached & with lucarnes on 4 sides

Perhaps Breton influence?

Around base of the spire are double lights with quatrefoils, but one has a wheel (maybe St Catherine?)

👀 St Michael’s Church, #Highgate #London

#GEStreet font of 1879-81.

The octagonal stone font has reliefs of angels alternating with shields.

Another St Michael & a dragon?
