A memorial to John MINTERNE and Elienor his wife and Ruth their daughter. John died in 1705. These memorials were originally in the MInterne chapel and were placed in the tower when the chapel was lost in the rebuilt and restoration of 1864. |
The font is unusual. The stem is an octagonal Norman column of Ham Hill stone. The basin is of a different stone, probably Portisham and of an even earlier date having some very simple ornamentation. There are signs that it may have originally been painted.
