[NB: Heather Richards, Secretary of Pilning Church Council, in a communication to Baptisteria Sacra (e-mail of 4 March 2008) writes: "When St. Thomas' Church [i.e., Northwick St. Thomas, Norman] was demolished the font was taken to St. Peter's Church, Pilning. Pilning Church therefore had two fonts until it was requested by the church at Christ Church, Hampstead, where it was taken in 1999"]
