<h2>Font</h2>
<p>This highly unusual font is carved out of marble, and the bowl is 12th century and of Italian origin.  The stem is supported by an elephant, but this is of a later period than the bowl which has no drain hole, and was therefore probably a holy water stoup originally.</p>
<p>It was donated to the church by Mrs. Hope-Edwards as a memorial to her mother Mrs. Bradney.</p>
