Font Notes:
The Hardington Vale Group of Churches web site [http://www.hardingtonvale.org.uk/?Our_History:Hist_Tellisford] [accessed 15 September 2009] notes: "The font is said to be late Norman. At some time, probably in 1854, new stonework was inserted on either side of the top. This was done to repair the damage done by the removal of iron staples." Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958).
