Norman Font - The Blessed Virgin Mary & St Leodegarius - Ashby St Ledgers, Northamptonshire - Romanesque Architecture on Waymarking.com

The large tub font is of a simple design, and looks like late Saxon or early Norman, though the church guide insists that it is definitely not Saxon! The wooden cover is Jacobean.

[The church] "is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Leodegarius (Ledger), a French Bishop. There has been a church on the site since before the Norman Conquest, but the old parts of the present church date from the twelfth century.

There is a beautiful Norman font, some wonderful wall paintings, and a piece of brass thought to have come from a London chapel of the Knights Templar, to name but a few of its delights."
