The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ib's_Church] [accessed 5 April 2026] mentions the baptismal font here: "The oldest artefact inside the church is the font which is made of Gotland limestone. Standing at the western end of the church, it is, in fact, taller than it appears as its pedestal is hidden under the floor which, together with other layers of flooring, was added later."
