Described and illustrated in Blendheim (1965: 57 and fig. 217): "The magnificent but mutilated font [...] is lavishly decorated with foliage". The font appears quatrefoil-shaped with large foliage motifs in high-relief carving; the lower base is also quatrefoil in that it has four angle bases with thick mouldings, bases that would have supported four constructional columns at 90-degree angles, with a broad one in the centre, all of which are now missing.
