In his entry for "Farley Hungerford" St. Leonard's Lewis (1876) remarks: "I should not forget to mention that the Norman font is a robbery from this church, as also a piscina similar to that still here. The font is modern." Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period. Wade & Wade (1929), however, note: "The font is said to have been brought from the church [to St. Anne's Chapel]. At its foot is a slab with incised figure of a chantry priest of unknown identity". The National Monuments Record of English Heritage (IoE no. 267200) [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=267200] [accessed 16 March 2008] reports a 'modern font' in place in St. Leonard's [report date: 11 March 1968], the font presumably still at St. Anne's. Miles & Saunders (s.d.) [http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/arch-769-1/ahds/dissemination/pdf/vol19/19_165_194.pdf] [accessed 16 March 2008] note: "The church was probably in existence much earlier than the surviving fabric suggests and the 12th-century font is perhaps a relic from an earlier building." Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958).
