Love antiquarian sources, but they sometimes contradict. From 1810 source, Sudbury, St. Gregory, Suffolk font cover was “adorned w/ the four lambs ..., symbols of the evangelists & angels w/shields w/ different family arms." But 1791 print does not show this. 😪

The octagonal bowl at St Mary’s, Elmley Castle, Worcs, dates to about 1500, and includes Tudor emblems. But look at the base! 13C, with four fabulous writhing dragons (one has a damaged head) being crushed by the baptismal waters of the font.

St Necton Church, Hartland,
Norman font - intersecting arches on bowl & foot, scalloped edge, zigzag pattern on stem.
But ...
The real joy - faces underneath the bowl & on the base.
Are we looking at the bearded face of a 11th C former resident?
