An elaborately carved wooden victorian font canopy on a 13th century font in St Andrew's church, Felmingham. These were often provided by wealthy benefactors to the church, often during the restoration of the church building. It is possible that some of the wood may have come from the Medieval Rood Screen of the original church.
The font, itself, is 13th century, made of purbeck marble, and has been reset on a colonade stem some time in the 14th century.
