Noted and illustrated in Stabb (1908): "on the east side of the north porch a holy water stoup inside the doorway. This is a very unusual position. The majority of the stoups in Devonshire churches are very plain, and this example shows much more carving than is usually found." [cf. Index entry for Malborough No. 1 for the baptismal font listed in this church].
