Font Notes:
The Encyclopaedia of Plymouth History [http://www.plymouthdata.info/Churches-Anglican-St%20Pancras.htm] [accessed 4 March 2009] notes: "The font came from St Budeaux Church, where it had been put in when that church was licensed for baptisms in 1482. Although St Pancras came under the Vicar of St Andrew, it was apparently served by the Vicar or Curate of St Budeaux Church." [cf. Index entry for St. Budeaux]
