Scene Description: Source caption: "Until it was stolen in September 2002, this fragment was located outside, near the chancel door, re-set on a short pillar to resemble the original item. The broken bowl, ring and part of its stem were integral, and had max. h. 0.39 m. The bowl was like a scallop capital with three shallow scallops on each face and darts between. A four-sided basin sloped straight to the drainage hole in the centre. This hole was angled sideways and reappeared as a short length of lead pipe on the side mounted facing the chancel." [NB: the drainage may habe induced an earlier vicar/rector to use this as a font cf. FontNotes about the removal of one small font from the church]

Noted and illustrated in the CRSBI [www.crsbi.ac.uk/site/576/] [accessed 21 August 2015]: "The remains of a plain font are near the SW gate. [...] Plain, cylindrical and shallow; the rim is chamfered and shows the fixing holes for lid and lock. The central drain hole goes down at least 0.15 m." An object identified in the CRSBI (ibid.) as a disappeared piscina could perhaps be the one described by a rector of St. John's in a reference included in the "Guide Book" at this Church ([s.d.], [s.l.], p. 4); it informs that the font "was 'found' in the churchyard in 1858, and was, presumably, the font which was taken out in 1801 to make room for a 'miserable pillar and a small basin holding about a quart of water', as the rector of the time described it".
