John Medley, Bishop of Fredericton, 1845-1892, is well known as a champion of the ecclesiological Gothic Revival for Anglican churches in New Brunswick. His passion for designs for which ‘authority’ was established in English Medieval Gothic sources extended to the fittings of churches including open seats, stained glass, floor tiles and fonts. It is the latter that is the focus of this paper. For his cathedral at Fredericton the font was imported from Exeter where Medley had been vicar of the parish church of St Thomas and canon of the cathedral before moving to Fredericton. The font is of Caen stone and was carved by Simon Rowe, master mason of Exeter Cathedral. The design of the font was based on the medieval example in St Mary’s, Beverley (Yorkshire) which had been published in F. Simpson, Baptismal Fonts (1828), and which had been copied by Rowe for Exeter Cathedral, and the parish churches of Barnstaple and Broadclyst (Devon). I shall review other fonts supplied by Rowe for other Anglican churches in New Brunswick all of which were copies of Gothic originals illustrated in Simpson or Paley’s Illustrations of Baptismal Fonts (1844). I shall introduce analogous examples at Sillery (PQ) and Hawkesbury (ON) and then focus on two marble fonts in Toronto, one in St George the Martyr, the other in St James’s Anglican Cathedral.
