12th century baptism font in St Michael the Archangel's church, Halam.

"Circular, ashlar, on four colonnades and a central column, diaper decoration on upper part of bowl. In the late C12th style but heavily re-tooled probably in 1884."

"Cox (1912) describes a Norman font of sandstone on five pillars. Although his description matches the current font, this has obviously been recut."
