URPoint Details
The chancel was rebuilt in 1872, the small octagonal font bears round the margin of the bowl ‘Good people all I pray take care, that in ye Church you do not swear, as this man did’. The parish register explains the unusual warning – August 30th 1718, Elizabeth daughter of Robert and Eliza Wood baptised in the new font bought out of £5 paid by John Norman who some months before came drunk into church, cursed, and talked loudly during a service.
Carved on either side of the lectern is a plough and sailing ship, symbolic of two kinds of work undertaken by the male population.
