"This simple but massive stone font is one of a very few in this area to survive from early times. Such symbols of the Roman Church were a popular target for destruction by extremists during both the Reformation and Cromwell's Protectorate. This font must have been carefully hidden away until the threat from iconoclasts had abated".
