The www.fusilier.co.uk website [http://www.fusilier.co.uk/warkworth_northumberland/st_lawrence_church.htm] [accessed 23 February 2010] entry for this church cites from Hidgson's History of Northumberland (vol. V, 1899): "The font is solid but very plain" and shows a plan of the interior with the font located at the west end of the south side, flush with the south wall. The Parish Restoration Appeal fund website [http://www.mikr79.net/stlawrence/restoration.html] [accessed 23 February 2010] January 2010, notes the move of the font in preparation for some of the 'Project 4' work: "Relocated the font at the crossing to improve family and congregation’s participation in baptisms now almost always celebrated during public services".
