The Britain Express web site [www.britainexpress.com/attractions.htm?attraction=4491] [accessed 20 April 2012] notes: "The feature that draws most visitors to this attractive church is the simple stone font, which is to be found near the south door entrance. The font is not original to All Saints; it comes from the now vanished church of St John's. We know from historical records that Oliver Cromwell was baptised at St John's church, so it seems highly likely that this is the font used for the baptism of Huntingdon's most famous son. All Saints has in its possession the original parish registry of St John's church, where the baptism of Oliver Cromwell is recorded for the 29th April, 1599."
