Mullion No. 1 / St. Mullion / Saint Mullion

Described in Blight (1862): "The font is octagonal, with panelled sides. On one side the lower part of the bowl is not bevelled, like the others, but the stone extends downwards to the shaft, as if the font had been left in an unfinished state, or had been built against wall or pillar." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) and in Cox (1912) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period; Cox (ibid.) describes it as "octagonal panelled font, a good 15th cent, example". Noted in Pevsner (1970): "Font: C13, octagonal, three of the sides with two very shallow blank trefoiled arcades, the fourth with a serpent motif." [cf.
