Baptism Font, St Andrew's - Kegworth, Leicestershire - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

A much restored octagonal stone font with traceried panels.

"The Parish Church stands on a commanding site overlooking the Market Place where Kegworth people have worshipped for a thousand years
and where the present building has stood almost unchanged since 1387.

Most Medieval churches are a mixture of styles, having been altered and added to down the centuries. Kegworth church is unusual as far as it is mainly all from the same period of time. The present church is one of the largest parish churches in Leicestershire, complete with chancel, nave and aisles, wide transepts and a large western tower and spire. All that remains of the previous Norman church is the rough stone walling of the lower part of the tower, the large double buttresses and the elegant Spire are all 14th century."
