Described and illustrated in Hamer (1873) [the description of the font is credited to "Mr. Martin Underwood"] : "A curious stone, circular on plan, with rough carving round it (also shewn), seems at one time to have done duty as a temporary font, as the bowl is hollowed, and a hole sunk through; this could not have been a portion of the font, the flowers which surround it being in relief instead of sunk proving it later work."
