Parker (1855) mentions a "late and debased" font cover, but not the font itself. The Bansfield Benefice web site page on the history of Stansfield [http://www.bansfieldbenefice.org.uk/stansfield/history/interior.html] [accessed 4 November 2009] notes: "At the West end of the nave is the mutilated late C13 font on a Victorian base."
