ONLY - Brick font in Norfolk - Potter Heigham, Norfolk, England - Superlatives on Waymarking.com

Most striking on entry is Norfolk's only brick font (Suffolk has another at Polstead). It appears to be 15th century; there are banded details which have eroded, but may have been trefoils. Curiously, the very name Potter Heigham suggested that this was a place where clay for bricks was to be found.

"Octagonal Cl5 brick font, very rare (Francis Bond identifies 4 examples : Fonts and Font covers, Oxford, 1908). Octagonal flint plinth, each alternate facet with step. On remaining facets shields in rectangular panels. Panelled stem to font with moulded brick buttress strips. Bowl in panels, each with 2 trefoiled heads."
