Noted and illustrated in Bond (1908) as one surviving example of a font "likely to be Pre-Conquest" in Derbyshire. The other Derbs. font he notes is the one at Beeley, of which Bond writes, "now apparently destroyed". The font, as it appears in a B&W photograph in Bond (ibid.), consists of an almost cylindrical basin with vertical piping or ribs stemming from a moulding on the lower side; it is raised on an unmatched square pedestal base or modern appearance. Some of the piping or ribs appear to have a widening or base at the bottom, where they link with the horizontal moulding; this could be an indication that these motifs are columns and, if so, they may have had similar capitals and arches on them. A recent [ca. 2010?] photograph taken inside the church by Church Crawler [http://churchcrawler.blogspot.ca/2011/06/all-saints-broughton-derbyshire.html] [accessed 20 April 2012], shows this tub-shaped basin mounted on a low polygonal plinth or lower base and topped with a plain and round wooden cover, at the west end of the church, next to another font [cf. Index entry for Bradbourne No. 2]; the ribbing/piping is now less noticeable, and it is difficult to tell whether the font was cut at the upper rim and lost the arches of the possible arcade of which only the columns remain. The entry for this church in the CRSBI [https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=3350] [accessed 2 April 2025] notes: "Font bowl: Only the bowl, decorated with arcading, remains of the 12thc font. It is badly damaged and no longer in use."
