Description: Originally Saxon, the church is now mainly 17th and 19th century - the two occasions when it was restored. Some of its Saxon origins can be seen in its carved stone Saxon font, and two stone cross shafts in the churchyard, and the blocked round-headed doorway in the south wall may be Saxon too. Shown here is the fine saxon font. (A font is a receptacle for water that is used in the Christian initiation rite of baptism. Functionally, it is a bowl on a stand. However, many churches have fonts that are ornately carved, reflecting many of the same traditions as the carved stone crosses. Because baptism is the start of the Christian journey, it is common for churches in which the fonts are built into the fabric of the church for the fonts to be near to the entrance door, extending the symbolism - the font is the first thing one encounters on entering the church.)
