Font Notes:
The notes on the history of Boldron in Tomorrows History site [www.tomorrows-history.com] read: "The Church [i.e., the Mission Church built in 1888] has what is thought to ba a Saxon font, perhaps from the church at Startforth, as are the present pews." [NB: unable to confirm this information]. [cf. Index entry for Startforth for a 15th-century font in that church]
