"Font of Frosterly marble donated 1882 by Miss Outhwaite. 25 foot canopy erected 1938 in memory of former vicar Canon J.S. Willimott (Designed by W.H. Wood)". [source: Leeds Indexers [http://leedsindexers.co.uk/Churches/]]. The tall and colourful canopy over the font harks back at the splendour of earlier font covers like the ones at Ufford and Hepworth, or canopies like the ones on the fonts at Trunch and Durham.
