The 'Salopian shreds and patches (issue of 21 May 1879: 175) reports on the re-opening of Bedstone Church on 13 May of that year and notes: "The old Norman font has been placed on a new stone base, and an ornamental oak cover has been added." Newman & Pevsner (2006) report a "plain C12 tub" font in this church.
