The third of three vessels located in the interior of St. Oswald's [though Pevsner mentions none of them]. This font, in actual use at present [June 2008], appears to correspond to the Victorian renovation of the church; it is of classical Perpendicular style design: octagonal basin with symbols or motifs inscribed in panels on the sides; adorned chamfer and raised on an octagonal stem and lower base. The wooden cover is round and carved, probably contemporary. Only one font is mentioned in Glynne's visit of 7 May 1862 (in Butler, 2007): "The font modern".
