A notice of the re-opening of Everton's church appeared in 'The architect and contract reporter: a weekly illustrated journal' (Sept. 11, 1869: 135); it noted: "The font, part only of which was original, was so dilapidated that it could not be restored. A new one has been provided." Gill (1909) writes: "The font is a modern imitation of the original Norman one, the fragmentary remains of which are in the vicarage garden." Cox (1912) and Guilford (1927) give the same information. Pevsner & Williamson (1979) write: " Norman, circular, with interlaced arches on short coulmns; a copy in the church, the battered original in the porch." The CRSBI (2008) entry for this church reports two Romanesque elements in this church: "the tympanum over the S door, the chancel arch (W side) and the remains of a disused font", with a description of the latter: "Part of a cut-down, disused font bowl is located beneath the tower arch. It is carved with a row of scalloping, above which is a row of arcading, with plain shafts, and simple bases and capitals." The CRSBI (ibid.) further notes: "The redundant font stood as an ornament for many years in the vicarage garden." The British Listed Buildings [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-241103-church-of-holy-trinity-and-boundary-wall] [accessed 26 April 2012] reports the fragment inside the church, in the north aisle.
