Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Octagonal, Dec[orated style], c. 1845." The baptismal font now at Filton St. Peter's is Victorian and probably dated to the mid-19th century rebuilding of the medieval (14th-century?) church [cf. Images Area for the carved plate inside the church with this inormation]. The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with trefoiled and quatrefoiled panels on the sides, and human heads at the bottom angles of the lower sides; raised on a octagonal-to-square pedestal base, and polygonal plinth. The wooden cover is also octagonal and probably contemporary with the font. [NB: we have no information on the original 14th-century (?) font of this church]
