Description
The font located in the churchyard about 2 metres west of the south porch of the Church of St Dennis is a 12th-century structure that underwent restoration in the 19th century. It was likely temporarily moved during the church's rebuilding, which was noted in July 1987. The font is made of granite and features a circular bowl with a stepped rim and cable moulding at the top of its circular stem. It is supported by a moulded circular base.
