Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. The usual C15 octagonal font." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin the sides of which are decorated with quatrefoil panels, raised on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with trefoiled arches or windows and a moulded splaying lower base; the underbowl chamfer is decorated with what appears to be foliage motif, although the web site of the benefice to which this parish belongs [http://www.parishconnections.org.uk/Daglingworth.htm] [accessed 10 April 2008] reports "small carving of a “Green Man” on the side of the font". The caption of a detail photograph of this Green Man by Tina Manthorpe, in FLICKR [http://www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/468386196/in/pool-68878292@N00] [accessed 10 April 2008] states, however: "Beneath the bowl of the font at Daglingworth is a fine Green Man". The round wooden cover appears modern. [NB: this was a Saxon church, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church]
