Occold

Noted in Parker (1855): "Font, an octagon." Knott (2002, 2007): "The [medieval] font has been reset most oddly at an angle in the north doorway opposite the entrance, with glazed tiles of the four Evangelistic symbols and the Lamb of God set about its feet." Knott also notes a beautiful font cover "probably locally made". The font has deeply set panels on the sides of the octagonal basin, as if the scenes (?) has been chiseled out; plain underbowl chamfer; plain modern stem; the lower base has the moulded bases of colonnettes that are no longer there, and there is a small quadrangular plinth. Every indication points to either a composite made up font, or one greatly altered.
