Font Notes: Click to view

Nine-sided tub font; the outer sides are irregular but slightly concave; the inner basin well is round. Was this originally a round font re-cut at a later date? Stands on a multi-block plinth that appears modern. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle.
