Noted and illustrated in the Gentleman's Magazine of March 1844: "a holy-water stoup which was disclosed a year or two ago, in the mutilated state represented, at the entrance of St. Clement's Church, Hastings, within the porch. After its mutilation, the recess in which it stands had been built up flush with the rest of the wall, and the whole thus attempted to be obliterated. We owe apologies to the correspondent who favoured us with the drawing that his accompanying letter is now mislaid." The illustration in the GM shows a typical stoup of the Perpendicular period: octagonal basin with round inner well, raised on an octagonal pedestal, the stem decorated with a row of trefoil arches between mouldings at top and bottom, and onother moulding that marks the splaying lower base; the drawing shows that the basin had been sliced through vertically so that it could be installed flush with the wall. [NB: it is not clear from the source whether or not the stoup was later restored]
