"A 15th century octagonal font, defaced and badly worn though that is. Supported on a stem with lions at the angles and wild men (wodewoses) in between (all of which have been decapitated), the faces of the bowl are aligned with the false points of the compass - that is, the points between the cardinal and ordinal directions (west-northwest, west-southwest, south-southwest etc.) - and carved with angels holding shields and the symbols of the Evangelists."
