The Romanesque font in the Church. A plaque nearby states that the font was restored to the church in 1858. It had been removed when the previous church on the site was enlarged in 1733 and evidently 'lost' for a considerable time. |
|
|
|
The font is of local red sandstone. The font is cracked but is supported by iron straps. The round plinth and rectangular base are modern. |
