Motcombe

The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk/motcombe.htm] notes the presence of a 13th-century baptismal font in this 19th-century church but does not account for its origin. The Open Churches Trust [www.openchurchestrust.org.uk/Motcombe.htm] entry for Motcombe St. Mary's reads: "The font inside the church is from the 13th century, with an oak cover from the 17th century."
