Modern baptismal font consisting of a moulded hexagonal basin of black marble, raised on a hexagonal pedestal base of white limestone (?) and a black marble (?) lower base of the same shape. The English Church Architecture web site [http://english-church-architecture.net/north%20yorkshire/sproxton/sproxton.htm] [accessed 7 October 2011] notes: "This tiny building is reputed to have an Elizabethan origin, much of the fabric having been moved to this spot from the chapel of West Newton Grange, one and a half miles to the southeast, in 1879. [...] The architects of the reconstruction were George Gilbert Scott Junior (1839-97) and Temple Moore (1856-1920)".
