Church Notes: re-built south porch said to have been originally Norman
No entry for this Narborough found in the Domesday survey. Noted and illustrated in Leicestershire Churches [www.leicestershirechurches.co.uk/narborough-church-all-saints/] [accessed 19 August 2015]: "the font which has moved three times dates from the 13th Century and has tracery panels of various kinds including one with two parallel tree trunks. The Narborough Parish Council site [http://narborough.leicestershireparishcouncils.org/pulpitandpint.html] [accessed 12 August 2009] has a confusing note on the font: "The font has simple tracery panels of various kinds […] The Font has been moved twice as far as is known. Originally it was placed near the North aisle facing the South door but during the re-ordering of the church in 1883 it was moved to a position under the Tower. In 1947, when the Baptistry was added it was moved again to its present position. The font is 12th Century Sunken stone panelling with quatrefoil tracery, originally it had armorial emblazonment." [NB: dating a font covered in tracery and showing at least one carved shield -which may or may not have a painted coat of arms on it originally- is not really on; it would be more reasonable to place it in the 14th-15th century range].
