One of two old fonts now [August 2014] outside the restored church; this one consists of a plain octagonal basin with tapering sides resting on a lower base formed by a thick roll moulding on a square volume; the impression is that there is an element of the pedestal base missing; the basin sides are badly damaged, one of them missing a large chunk; the damage is located at opposite ends of the upper basin sides, therefore consistent with the location of an old cover staples. Unable to access the bottom of the inner well, as it is full of debris.
