Cox (1912) writes: "Small early Norm[an] font, bowl encircled by cable moulding ; shaft has been lowered." Tyrrell-Green (1928) gives a list of fonts in which a rope moulding constitutes "the sole adornment": Bierton (Bucks.), Egloskerry (Cornwall), Launcells Cornwall), Tremaine (Cornwall), Wick (Glam), Tresmere (Cornwall), Notgrove (Gloucs.), Folkton (NYorks.), Backwell (Somerset), Congresbury (Somerset). Noted in Pevsner (1970): "Font. Circular with cable moulding, like Egloskerry." The font appears to consist of two volumes: a hemispheric basin decorated with a thick rope moulding at the upper basin side, raised on a hemispheric base that looks very much like another basin upside-down, and is decorated with three raised mouldings; the flat wooden cover appears modern.
