The font in Newnham church is mid-12th century Norman. The Pevsner guide states: 'one of a group of four probably from the same workshop; the others are in Hereford Cathedral, Mitcheldean (largely a replica), and Rendcomb'. Originally the one at Rendcomb is thought to have been at Elmore. The figures represents the twelve apostles.
