Medieval baptism font in St Michael & All Angels' church, Taddington.
In addition to the 15th-17th century font in the south aisle (
visit link) is this older rough hewn gritstone font, believed to be from the 13th century, in the north aisle. Its history appears in a framed hand-written note on the wall alongside it. Like the more recent font, it is lead lined, a reminder of the importance of lead mining to the parish in the past.
