Description

The font, dated 1742, is located in the graveyard approximately 12 metres south of the Church of St Michael and All Angels in Haworth. It is made of ashlar and features a squared baluster design with an octagonal plinth, which is set on a late 18th to early 19th century tomb slab. The bowl of the font is inscribed on three sides with 'W Grimshaw/ A B Minister/AD 1742' and has an inscription on the top that reads 'I indeed have bapt.d/you with water/but He shall bap/tize you with/THE HOLY GHOST'. William Grimshaw, who served as the perpetual curate in Haworth from 1742, played a significant role in the growth of Methodism in the area and was instrumental in the construction of the Methodist Chapel in 1758.
