Credit and Acknowledgements: We are grateful to Colin Hinson, of www.yorkshireCDbooks.com, for the information on, and photographs of, this church and font.
The church is described in Bulmer's Directory of 1892 as "rebuilt about the year 1780", which may date the font now [2007] found in this former parochial chapelry of Aughton; it consists of an octagonal basin that is plain but for a moulding on the lower side, raised on an octagonal stem decorated with a mouldin on its upper end, and a moulded lower base; the inner well of the basin is lead-lined [NB: the Church of England site [www.achurchnearyou.com/east-cottingwith-st-mary/] [accessed 19 September 2011] reports that the bells in this church are the only remains of the previous 14th-century church here, but we have no information on the earlier font].
