Font Notes:
Whellan (1849) writes of a chalybeate spring in this village, that "flows into a stone basin, which is said to have been the old font of Stoke church", but Whellan does not mention a font in the church itself. It is noted in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) as being contemporary with the mid-13th century church. Pevsner & Cherry (1973), however, mention a font "on baluster stem" in this church [are there two fonts? Has the old one disappeared?].
