Click to view
Noted in Harrison (1920) as a baptismal font of 1660. The baptismal font consists of a shallow octagonal moulded basin of white marble, raised on a square pedestal with large graded mouldings, and a rectangular plinth; the three pieces do not match and it appears that the font is a composite object. The wooden cover, of the Jacobean type with raised scroll ribs on an octagonal platform, may be contemporary.
