Noted and illustrated in The Gloucestershire Photo Library [http://www.allthecotswolds.com/] [accessed 5 January 2008]: "The church has an octagonal font made out of alabaster with inlaid marbles by Birnie Philip, circa 1865". The baptismal font is octagonal overall and remarkable in its ugliness. It is a rare achievement to put such noble materials and skills to such a horrid and kitschy end. [NB: the same source notes that the original "St. Mary's was built by Ralph Boteler circa 1460 but damaged during the Civil War", but we have no information on the font of that church]
