Low Ham / Nether Ham

Kelly's Directory of 1939 reports: "the font is Norman". The Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 8, 2005) notes: "There was a chapel at Low Ham, probably in the 13th century [...] and certainly by 1316 when a chantry recently granted there for the benefit of one landowner was suppressed in favour of an earlier foundation for another [...] The chapel was served by a succession of stipendiary curates appointed by the lords of the manor, most of whom served parochial cures in the neighbourhood other than High Ham." No font mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The National Monuments Record, English Heritage [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=263114] [accessed 30 August 2009] notes "Under the tower a C19 octagonal font" [NB: there may have been earlier fonts in the original chapel, but the present font is modern, probably of the 19th century, as is the flat and round font cover on it; the present chapel dates back to the 17th century].
