Baigent [i.e., Francis Joseph Baigent] presented drawings of a font in Tichbourne church, Hants: its circumference at the top was about eight feet, and it was composed of the Isle of Wight stone. In the churchyard there is also the base of an old font of purbeck marble, which stood upon four pillars." [NB: we have no recent confirmation on the whereabouts of this base] [cf.
