The Parish web site [www.maxeychurch.co.uk] informs: "at the east end of the south aisle is preserved the stone font of the Restoration period, dated around 1660. The present font, under the bell tower, was the gift of Canon and Mrs Argles in the 1870s, and in 1892 they gave the oak cover. This gift was in memory of Bishop VDavys, Bishop of Peterborough (1839-64). Canon Argles was Dean of Peterborough (1891-93)." The Digital Atlas of England [www.viewbuildings.com] illustrated an octagonal font with rounded underbowl, raised on a moulded pedestal, presumably the 19th-century font described above.
