Marble octagonal baptism font in Holy Trinity church, Kendal. It dates from the fifteenth century, and is of black marble believed to be from North Yorkshire. The first font was placed in the porch on the South wall and baptisms took place outside the Church.
The font is large enough for babies to be immersed. The cover was subscribed to by the ‘ladies of the church’ and erected in 1898 to the memory of Archdeacon Cooper, a former Vicar.
