On-site notes: the octagonal granite basin has two mouldings at the upper rim of its sides; below them, large acanthus leaves cover the rest of the basin sides. The base appears to be of a different stone and not to have belonged to this font. Although it is now used as a stoup, it looks like it was originally used as a baptismal font.
