Pevsner (1958) writes: "Font. Converted into a lectern. Wood, on a Greek-cross plan. Pillar-like stem, shallow fluted bowl." Foyle (2004) notes a "wooden lectern converted from a font". The About Bristol web site [http://www.about-bristol.co.uk/chu-14.asp] [accessed 16 September 2009] mentions several additions made during the 1879 renovation of the church, among which, "a font of mahogany". [NB: the tower of the 15th-century church remains, but we have no infromation on the fonts of that church].
