Victorian gothic font of 1870s, by Mr Ireland of Princes Street. It is carved with scenes of the gospel and figures of the evangelists on the stem.
"Often known simply as St Mary Elms, this church on Elm Street may have been built on the site of an older church called St Saviour’s. The church doorway is thought to date from as far back as the eleventh century, whilst some of the bricks intended for Wolsey’s Cardinal College of St Mary were used in the rebuilding of this church after the Cardinal’s fall from favour in 1529."
