According to Cox & Harvey (1907), and like the fonts at Chollerton, Haydon, etc., this is a former Roman altar converted to use as baptismal font. [cf. Index entry for Chollerton]. Listed in Stocker (1997) as one of a group of "Roman altars incorporated into fonts" [NB: appears in Stocker as "Great Sakeld"]. English Heritage [Listing NGR: NY5516536764] (1967) reports a "Roman altar from Old Penrith" here, but says nothing of the font. The Eden District Council web site [http://www.eden.gov.uk] [accessed 4 October 2014] informs: "An uninscribed Roman altar was found in 1890 when digging a grave in the churchyard and is now housed in the porch of the church."
