Font Notes:
Click to view
Hasted (1798) notes: "The font in this church is remarkably mean, being composed of brick and tile only." Writing of his 1859 visit to this church, Glynne (1877) refers to the font simply as "is of brick." Cox & Harvey (1907) and Bond (1908) refere to Glynne, and do not add any further information on it. The Kent Archaeological Society entry for this church shows a stone font consisting of a small hemispherical basin raised on a hexagonal (?) pedestal base; not a medieval font. The plain round cover is also modern. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the medieval font, or of the fonts mentioned in Hasted and Glynne]
