Seaborough

Described in Pulman (1854): "the font stands underneath the gallery at the west end of the nave. It is composed of Ham stone , and is octagonal in shape, on a stem of corresponding design. It was undoubtedly constructed at the time when the church was built,-namely the beginning of the fifteenth century” [NB: the western gallery was removed; the font remains in place]. Noted and illustrated in The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://www.dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk/seaborough.htm] [accessed 6 February 2009]: "The octagonal Ham stone Font, standing on a stem of corresponding design at the West-end of the Nave, is of C15 origin and was almost certainly that used by Parson John Threver when the church was first built on the site in 1414/15."
