Description

The medieval stone feature located in the churchyard, about 17 metres south of the nave of the Church of St. Catherine, is likely the base of a font or pulpit, possibly dating from the 14th century. It is made of Ham stone and has an irregular octagonal shape, with two longer panelled faces. The feature consists of a simple octagonal plinth, an angled underbowl with a traceried panel on each underface, and an oval bowl on top that has a drain hole. It is presumed that this feature was either the font or the pulpit that was replaced during the restoration of the church in 1870-71. The unusual plan form of this feature is noted to be distinctive for the area.
