Font Notes:
Described in Jeboult (1873): "The font is old and plain." An octagonal font with quatrefoiled panels on the basin, raised on a moulded octagonal stem is illustrated in the Parish web site [http://www.trullchurch.org.uk/ourchurch.html] [accessed 30 September 2009], but it is not clear whether this is the font Jeboult saw or a later replacement. Pevsner (1958) does not mention a font in this church.
