The baptismal font now at Scorborough St Leonard's must be the replacement font installed during the re-building of this church in the 1850s; it consists of a round basin with a pronounced upper rim and a graded underbowl chamfer, the sides themselves decorated with large quatrefoils with inscribed rosettes and other motifs and/or symbols; the spandrels of the quatrefoils are filled with foliage; the inner well of the basin is lined with lead and has a central drain; the basin is raised on a cluster of centre and outer shafts, the latter decorated with mouldings. Wooden cover of the period. Next to the font stands a tiny octagonal stone basin, plain but for a groove all around the upper basin sides; it could be a portable font or a holy-water stoup, and it must be modern. [NB: we have no information on the original font(s) of this church].
