Possibly a late 14th to early 15th Century font in the Perpendicular style in St. Martin's church, Exeter. It seems to have been built of two different types of stone (the upper part being marble), maybe at two distinct time periods. The font is unusual in having a small additional basin on its stem (not pictured), possibly for holy oil of chrism used in baptism.
