Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Early English period. Noted in Newman & Pevsner (2006): "C13 circular bowl. Incised stiff-leaf on the rim." The Diocese of Lichfield website entry for Selattyn St. Mary's [http://www.churches.lichfield.anglican.org/oswestry/selattyn/] [accessed 7 January 2010] notes and illustrates this font: a round basin decorated with a vine around the upper basin side, a moulding at the lower end; raised on a modern (?) pedestal base, round and moulded, and a modern circular plinth. The wooden cover is round and flat and appears modern as well.
