Font Notes:
Click to view
Baptismal font of crude material, irregular shape and poor workmanship; the basin is square at the top, both inside and out, and has had the upper rim cut in probably to accommodate a font cover over it; the outer sides of the basin are rounded on the underbowl; raised on a round pedestal base that may or may not be the original. The plinth or dais on which it now stands is modern.
