 Detail
of the carving
on the font |
The Font is thought to be by masons who were working on the Chapter House
of Southwell Minster; therefore dates to c 1290. According to Bond, it was
by the time of carving one of few to retain shafts at the base - that
had been the vogue of the thirteenth century. Instead of arcading the octagonal
font, the carvers produced a niche which had a richly decorated pediment with
foliage arising from heads at each corner of the base.
