Noted in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (Essex, 1916-1923): "Font: octagonal, with plain bowl, apparently defaced, stem with shafts at angles having moulded bases, 15th-century". Perhaps a new basin was brought in to replace the old one reported in the RCHM, because the British Listed Buildings database [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-114477-parish-church-of-st-maragret-tilbury-jux] [accessed 22 September 2010] reports: "The font has an octagonal stem with recessed sides and moulded shafts and bases at the angles, and a base incorporating a step, C15. The bowl is C19/20, and the decayed original bowl is inverted beside it. The Essex Churches web site [www.essexchurches.info] illustrates the composite font with the old basin next to it. [cf. Index entry for Tilbury-just-Clare No. 2 for a holy-water stoup of about the same period in this church]
