There is a reference to Tettenhall St. Michael's [another?] font in the web site of Pendeford [www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/Pendeford/Present.htm] [accessed 12 March 2007], in the context of the description of St. Paul's Church Centre, Pendeford, opened in 1981: "The font in the Chapel is a link with Norman times. Having been moved from St Michael's in Tettenhall, it was placed in the new chapel in 1982." -- Tettenhall S. Michael's was a collegiate church prior to the 1066, according to Lewis' Dictionary of 1848, so a Norman font may have existed there -- is this the one now in Pendeford?
