Great Cheverell / Cheverell Magna

Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975): "Font. The bowl C13, octagonal, with rough pairs of pointed-trefoiled arches on each side." Noted in the Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 10, 1975): "The nave incorporates a fragment of early masonry in its north-west corner and among its furnishings is a 13th-century font" [entry footnoted: "The font was relegated to the Grange, Edington, during the 1868 restorations but was reinstated in 1930: W.A.M. xlvi. 520"]. The underbowl and the pedestal base are circular and plain; the whole rests on a tiny square plinth. The way the trefoiled arches have been cut gives the impression of a re-cut. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with a ring handle.
