Eglingham

The National Gazetteer of 1868 notes: "The church is a stone structure, dedicated to St. Maurice. It was rebuilt after the Restoration, having been destroyed, together with the chapels of Old Bewick, Worperton, West Lilburn, and Brandon, by the Scots during the Rebellion, and was enlarged by the addition of a transept in 1836", but does not mention a font. Wilson (1870) notes that the font was moved from a place near the altar to the west at the time of Archdeacon Richard Charles Coxe, in the mid-19th century. A plan of the interior in Wilson (ibid.) shows the font beneath the tower. Wilson does not describe or date the font. Described in Pevsner (1957): "Font. 1663. Octagonal with the simplest ornamental carvings on part of the moulded bowl which still preserves a Perp[endicular] contour." [NB: not to be mistaken with Eglinham, also with a church dedicated to St. Maurice]
