Fonts.
The old font which now stands at the West end of the Church has no inscription, only a small brass with a sacred emblem, (plate viii.) A new font has been placed in the Dyers' or Mourners' Chapel, it is beautifully carved in Bath stone, and bears the following inscription on brass—
"To the glory of God and in memory of John Walter Pridmore, who entered into rest on the Monday in Holyweek MDCCCLXIX.
"This font has been placed in this Church by his brother George Alexander Pridmore Feast of Nativity MDCCCLXX."
It was set up March 11, 1871.
