Baptism font in St James the Great's church, Claydon.

It dates from 1861, when the church was much restored, and replaces an old wooden one. It is in the style of a Norman font, but the basin is much smaller.

During the restoration of the church it was re­-roofed (except the tower) and re-floored, and the south wall, porch, the wall of the north aisle and portions of the walls of the Chantry Chapel were taken down and re-built.
Approximate Age of Artefact: 1861
