The Chapeltown St. Anne's website [http://www.northturton.com/Chapeltown/st.annes_01.html] [accessed 2 December 2009] informs: "The Font. This is constructed of Caen Stone, supported on alabaster columns, and was presented to the church by the Revd. J.W. Spencer in 1899. Originally placed at the back of the church, it was moved forward in 1977 when the Broadhead Room was built. The older font was lost for a considerable time but now has re-appeared and is residing quietly in the locality."
