Described in Walker (1887): the font lies at the side of the old manor-house of Innerwick the property of W.F.Anderson, Esq., and near the site of St Mary's Church. A plain small circular bowl, with circular orifice [i.e., inner well]. There is a hollow depression on the side of the bowl perhaps to be fitted up against a pillar. The entry in CANMORE [https://canmore.org.uk/site/58971/innerwick-parish-church] [accessed 13 February 2024] reports a modern font of 1939 in it.
