Baptism Font - St John the Baptist church - Grimston, Leicestershire - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

"The church is built largely in the local ironstone, and the present building dates essentially from the early 13th century, with rebuilding around 1400. Major restoration followed during 1867-8. Traces of an earlier, Saxon or Norman, building can however be seen in the north wall of the nave, and the font dates from this period too. There are two old corbels on the east wall of the chancel from this period incorporated into the Victorian rebuilding.

The tower, clerestory and nave roof all date from the rebuilding in Perpendicular style around 1400. The main tie beams of the nave roof retain their original carved bosses."
