Medieval stone font (replica)
Stone font (first described by Sir Stephen Glynne in 1855). The bowl of the font is ornamented with human masks; the heads are at four equal distances, enclosed within a serpentine moulding; in one of the divisions there is a pair of heads making five in all around the font. In the case of two of the figures the heads rise slightly above the font edge, the other three do not. The shaft and base are modern (i.e. not contemporary with and out of character with the basin).
