Font Notes:
Noted in the Royal Commission of Historical Monuments (Essex, 1916-1923): "Font: octagonal bowl with quatrefoil panels, alternate panels having plain shields; stem with buttressed angles, panelled sides and moulded base, 15th-century." The font is noted as "octagonal, with mouldings and panels" in an anonymous and undated local guide to the church at Lindsell [probably published locally in the 1950s]. Noted in Pevsner (1976): "Font. C15, octagonal, with quatrefoils and shields." In Bettley & Pevsner (2007), with much the same information. [NB: a priest in Lindsell is noted in Domesday, but we have no information on an early font here]
