Old font

font

This font, which is thought to date from the fifteenth century, was banished to the churchyard as part of the Victorian restoration. It was used there as a flower trough! It was returned to the north chapel in the church in about 1980 to prevent further weathering. George Lipscomb, the nineteenth century historian, decribes the font as having its basin decorated with slender pillars, although it is difficult to imagine how this can have been. Its elegant lines suit the style of the church, and it is hoped that one day it may be returned to its rightful place.
