West Anstey

Listed in Clarke (1913): "An interesting tub-font of freestone. It is encircled about 5 1/2 inches from the bottom by an unusually thick cable, rather askew. Above this is a broad band of palmetto or honeysuckle ornament, with the stems interlaced; above that, round the edge, a band of Norman star ornament. The font has been broken in half, across the honeysuckle ornament, but has been carefully rerpaired. On the northern side a piece of new stone has been inserted. The font retains its lead lining; the remains of one staple of the cover are leaded in; on the opposite point the stone is broken away, probably in wrenching out the staple. It stands on a square base, the corners of which are bevelled on each side, and is further raised on a step six inches high." Noted in Pevsner (1952): "Font. Norman, of tub shape, with saltire cross and palmette decoration, similar to Bishopsteignton."
