Although the original church her was Norman the polygonal [octagonal?] baptismal font now in All Saints' Spelsbury, by the looks of it, appears to date probably from the mid-18th century drastic renovation of this church; it is, however, possible that an older font [not Norman but perhaps of the 14th or 15th century] may have been recut to appears as it now does. Wooden font cover, polygonal [octagonal?] base with eight (?) ribs that start at the outer angles and converge above in a large floral finial [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
