Font Notes:
The original font from the Perpendicular period was probably damaged or destroyed when the tower collapsed from the effects of a storm in the 17th century, seriously damaging the nave and the aisles. [NB: it is possible that the plinth under the 17th-18th century font may be from the original church]
