A Norman 'style' bowl font in All Saints' church, Ashbocking.
"the font with its very odd curved bowl, set, as it were, within a stone frame, has been variously described as Norman (by Pevsner) and Saxon (in the notes on display in the church), but these ascriptions seem merely to be attempts to account for its curious form by assigning it a dim distant origin, and it seems more likely it simply served some other function once and was later pressed into service here.
