Fonts
There are currently two fonts in the church.
There is an ancient font at the west end of the north aisle. It was dug out
of a field in Bunny Moors and had been used as a drinking trough for cattle.
The following comment about the font is made in a glass frame attached to one
of the pillars near the font:
This ancient font was discovered in fragmentary form on Bunny Moor.
Under the direction of Mr William Wier of the Architects Society
for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings. It was repaired and re-leaded
and set up on its present base. It was re-dedicated on June 6th 1912
by Bishop of Derby. The font is generally considered to be 11th century
work. It is possible that it was the original font of this church

A historian in 1886 made this comment about another font:
The
font at the west end consisted of a slender marble shaft supporting a shallow
basin.
This font was presented to a London church by the Vicar
at the time, so Bunny at one time had three fonts.
