The 'Guide to St Giles Church' [www.bramhope.org] notes the following: "Near the entrance the stone font is in the customary position in English churches. A member of the congregation crafted its wooden cover. Today Baptisms are conducted during a Sunday service, in front of the whole congregation, who welcome the child or adult into the church family and so the portable oak font is used. On this font you will see a carved mouse, the trade mark of Robert Thompson of Kilburn." [cf. Index entry for Branhope No. 1 for the stone Restoration font in this church]
