In 1991 the author completed research for his dissertation on the twelfth-century Tournai fonts for a Master's degree in Art History at the University of Essex. Based on this research, his first published article sought to update the paper by our Fellow G C Dunning. In 1997, during his research for The Romanesque Fonts of Northern Europe and Scandinavia , the author discovered and published further information about the products of the Tournai School. Among the fonts listed in the author's 1993 paper were the ‘fragments’ at Soignies, known to be built into the fabric of the church. Late in 2003 his attention was drawn to a monograph published by the Chapter Museum of the collegiate church of Saint-Vincent, Soignies (about 16km south west of Brussels), detailing the recovery, conservation and subsequent display of the font bowl. This article has been pieced together from the three sections of that monograph and we are indebted to the Museum, and to the scholars whose articles make up the monograph, for permission to use their material and a selection of their illustrations
