Described and illustrated in Orrin (1988): "The 13th-century font at Flemingston was designed to look like a Norman cushion capital. It has a modern cover with an acorn finial with open scroll trusses on a plain central shaft." Described in Newman (1995) as "a good late C13 piece, square bowl chamfered down to meet the round stem." [NB: the vertical angles of the basin are cut with a broad chamfer]
