Listed by Peter Lord, in Diwylliant... (1998-2003) as one of about twenty square fonts produced by a north-Devon workshop [NB: Lord cites Robert Boak's unpublished research as source for the workshop identification]. The decoration of these fonts consists chiefly of scallop and/or foliage motifs. [NB: Lord gives the county as Pembrokeshire]. Only the basin, decorated with three large scallops at the bottom of each side, appears original.
