The baptismal font in this church is Staveley All Saints' is an unnotable product of the 19th-century rebuilding of the church and therefore not listed in this Index, but there is an interesting stone object used as holy-water stoup: it is monolithic, about three feet in height, and irregular trapezoidal in plant, unadorned except for a horizontal groove that delineates an upper rim; the inner basin is roughly of the shape trapezoidal shape as the exterior, and has no drain. The crudeness of its construction may be deceiving when guessing its date, but it does appear of early medieval design.
