Illustrated in Rickman & Parker [woodcut by Orlando Jewitt] (1881) as a Norman baptismal font of ca. 1160; the octagonal basin has a thin band of nail-head motif at the upper rim; the rest of the basin sides is covered with large, one per side, round arches that house a single human figure, they all appear to be clerics, in each; the upper part of the base has scallop-pattern ornamentation; there are several (four?) detached rounded shafts at the base and a octagonal lower base or plinth. The same source [cf. supra] dates the font to ca. 1160. [NB: although listed and illustrated in Rickman & Parker as a font from Bolton, Lincolnshire, we have not been able to locate this Bolton].
