Font Notes:
Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975): "Font. Carved by the Rev. F. Goddard in 1840; and very crsiply carved it is." The Victoria county History (Wiltshire, vol. 9, 1970) notes; "The font, a copy of one at Over (Cambs.), was carved in 1840 by Canon Francis Goddard." [NB: this font does indeed look like the font at Over, but it is not an exact copy; the main detail lacking in the Clyffe Pypard font is the group of cherunb heads all around the underbowl] [ cf. Index entry for Clyffe Pypard No. 1 for an earlier font in this church]
