Though not mentioned at all in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989), the Gillott Family History web site [www.gillottfamilyhistory.com/Addlethorpe_Church_Lincolnnshire_Article.html] illustrates what appears to be a wall-mounted stoup that is, however, claimed by some local sources as a font for the baptism of the peasants [NB: the latter is probably an unfounded claim, at least in the original conception of this object]. [We are grateful to Paul Gooch, of www.paulgoochimages.com, for the photograph of this font]
