Medieval baptism font in St Peter & St Paul's church, Upton.
"The octagonal stone font, with a moulded base and bowl, is 14th century. During the restorations of the 1860s this font was ‘unhappily discarded in the churchyard’ (as J.C. Cox wrote in 1912) and replaced with a modern one, but by the 1930s it had been brought back into the church. The Victorian font remains in the church under the lectern."
